Kurt Eggers – författare

Clinical Cases in Dysfluency is an imperative work that introduces dysfluency in clinical and cultural contexts while encouraging reflection on clinical decision-making involving the assessment and management of clients. With inputs from eminent clinical researchers across the world, this text brings together diverse voices and expertise to provide readers with innovative ideas for their own practice.

The book assists in refining clinical problem solving and valuing exchanges between clients and clinicians. Featuring real-life case studies covering stuttering and cluttering in children and adults, it showcases the importance of evidence-based practice and practitioner reflection, demonstrating a range of approaches to address problems experienced with dysfluency, and their management. The authors go on to discuss issues of stereotyping, resilience, and therapeutic commonalities in general, and in multicultural contexts, whilst also introducing the discipline of Dysfluency Studies, where stuttering is considered positively in its complexity and not as a disorder. These concepts are effectively further illustrated through accompanying online resources including videos, and weblinks.

This is an indispensable resource for students and clinicians in the domains of Fluency, Speech and Language Pathology and Communication Disorders, and will be valuable reading to anyone interested in communication disorders, dysfluencies, and application of theory to practice in these disciplines.

The Weimar Republic holds an infamous place in German history as a unique period of shame. Having been defeated in World War I, the German people had harsh and demoralizing conditions imposed on them by the Allies, including severe limitations on their nation's military. Vindictive neighbors like France and Poland ruthlessly exploited Germany's weakness by encroaching and laying claim to yet more of its lands.

In this situation of the "death of Germany's honor," as Kurt Eggers calls it, paramilitary units called the Freikorps emerged to fill the void, refusing to accept their nation's humiliation. Rebel Mountain tells the story of the attempted re-conquest of the mountain Annaberg in Upper Silesia from Polish insurgents, a tale of struggle and heroism, rebellion and duty. Eggers writes with first-hand knowledge of the setting from his own participation in the conflict at the age of fifteen. Through the eyes and emotions of fictional characters, he brings to life his personal experience of a time when men took up arms for an unsung cause and kept the flame of their nation's honor alive, and he sees in the actions and desires of those humble veterans and volunteers the spark of a greater faith that could one day lift Germany out of both material oppression and spiritual malaise.
