“…Unable to express themselves verbally, they seek outlets by striking out. We find this phenomenon in Melville's 'Billy Budd', among others (Harison, 2011). Melville (cited by Eagle, 2014) describes stuttering as a dormant, latent defect, as an expression of dismay that wells up from a person who has a hard time forming his words and therefore sees only one way out for justice to prevail, namely, by dealing a punch.…”

Background: To provide an overview of books (fiction and non-fiction) in which characters showing fluency disorders appear. Attention is also paid to how they are depicted and how books can be used in a therapeutic context. Method: A thorough literature search of library catalogues, internet websites, including databases, and consultation of SLP’s working with persons who stutter (PWS). Results: Many books featuring PWS were found. These include biographies and other non-fictional books, classic and contemporary fictional stories, and books for children and young adults. Various therapeutic applications, such as in bibliotherapy, have been described. Conclusion: PWS are often portrayed in the popular media. Although they are sometimes represented negatively, many of them appear in the described stories and (auto)biographies as strong and courageous individuals. The therapeutic use of books can help to further strengthen their resilience.

he Who were a successful English rock and roll band known for their popular songs and albums in the 1960s and 1970s, as well as for a very loud and raw performing style. If the Who had done nothing else, they would have secured a place in rock and roll history for using "feedback" in their live act, playing loud music, and smashing guitars and drums. his article examines the curious appeal of the Who's startling sound for an early generation of rock music fans, and how their brand of music found enthusiastic audiences first among local fans in [1964][1965], and then across the Atlantic through the early 1970s.
