The major findings were (1) reciprocal inhibition procedures for anxiety reactions appeared to lessen anxiety reactions in this sample of stutterers, (2) a significant reduction in the frequency of fluency failures on oral reading tasks, (3) no correspondence between stuttering frequency and anxiety beyond a marginal or coincidental one.Keywords
