Abstract

Speech was originally an 'egocentric creative physioplastic act' phonetically imitating experience. In the normal personality there is an adequate balance of 'take-in' (oral), 'give-out' (urethral) and 'hang-on' (anal) functions. Stuttering indicates an under-emphasis of urethral libido cathexis in its onset, an over-emphasis of anal libido cathexis in its maintenance.
