Book description
Now revised and updated, the McGuire Programme is an
internationally recognised method that not only improves speech, but
offers the enjoyment, not the dread, of speaking. a series of
breathing and diaphragm exercises that breaks the self-perpetuating
cycle of stuttering. Uniquely, the McGuire Programme combines physical
techniques (breathing and relaxation) with mental strategies for
dealing with the fear of stammering, as well as how to develop an
assertive attitude to the problem.
A childhood stammer made Dave McGuire drop out of university and
after finding a doctor who taught him about the 'cycle of panic'
stammerers go through he developed his method of controlling his
stammer. Combining this with special breathing techniques he learnt from
an opera singer he developed the McGuire Programme.
