Abstract
The impact of self-help groups on the person who stutters appears to be highly positive; however, only a few studies on the topic have been conducted. Consequently, little is known regarding the components that contribute to their success. The author encourages more research on this topic and offers questions needing answers regarding the impact of self-help groups in order to learn more of the specifics as to why they work. This research needs to be more systematic and should include significantly larger sampling than previous studies. A description of the larger self-help and related groups in the United States is also given. Problems associated with local chapters are mentioned and the need for better clinician awareness of the benefits of self-help are stated.
