The late Peter Glauber was a pioneer in clinical research and treatment of stuttering and related disorders. Working along psychoanalytic developmental lines, he made notable contributions to our understanding of character pathology and of the narcissistic and preoedipal roots of the neuroses.
This collection of thirteen of Glauber's papers, originally published between 1943 and 1968, was selected and ably edited by his wife, Helen M. Glauber. There are Forewords by W. Clifford M. Scott and Leo Stone, as well as comments on some of the papers by several of Glauber's colleages.
The papers are presented in two sections: Part I, "A Psychoanalytic Understanding of Stuttering," contains seven papers; Part II, "Other Selected Papers," contains six. Glauber's final paper, "Dysautomatization: A Disorder of Preconscious Ego Functioning," is his most profound work. I highly recommend this book to readers who are unfamiliar with Glauber's contributions, especially those who treat children.
