As far back as 1996 a paper in the American Psychiatric Journal (Stein, Baird & Walker) stated that Social Phobia should not be overlooked as a potentially remedial source of distress and disability in people who stutter. Does anyone on the panel screen for Social Phobia in their clients, use CBT or other therapies targeting social phobia and/or liaise with psychologists for appropriate therapy? What is the panel's opinion of the relationship between stuttering and social phobia? In the panel's experience what percentage of clients have social phobia?
