Abstract
Anxiety no longer appears to be a major factor in determining treatment for problem communicators. The medical model has been rejected for a rhetorical model which permits a rhetoritherapist to retrain the client in the rhetorical sub‐processes in order to improve his or her communication capability.Keywords
