In accordance with Glauber's concept of stuttering in the child as an extension of the conflicts of the narcissistically attached mother, treatment of the stutterer must reach a point where his reactions involve her increasingly and where the possibility of future progress depends on the direct resolution of her own tensions. This fact is illustrated by the experiences of a therapeutic team described by the Glaubers. It must be recognized that in bringing the child for treatment, the mother is indirectly asking for aid herself; if correctly handled, she will in time permit her own difficulties to receive attention.
