Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake. | ||||||||||

This article has a clean-up tag and may therefor be quick-failed as a Good Article Nominee. I suggest you address the issues post-haste so that the candidacy remain viable. the skomorokh 13:07, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

That's it for now. The article will remain on hold for seven days for improvements. Nikki311 00:32, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
Comment - If this is considered a serious psychology article (rather than pop psychology), please consider evaluating the reference sources according to Wikipedia:Reliable sources (medicine-related articles). Thanks, —Mattisse (Talk) 01:25, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
The seven days are up, and I am failing the article due to lack of progress. Please consider addressing these concerns before renomination. Thanks. Nikki311 15:36, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
This article has some good stuff but it needs major work. In recent years there have been three literature reviews, four systematic reviews, and one meta-analysis, covering more than 200 studies, published in recent years in the speech-language pathology journals. These reviews constitute Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) in the field of stuttering. This article has little or no EBP. It mostly has some quotes from a few "experts" in the field and the rest is from a article in "Family Physician" magazine, which isn't a journal of speech-language pathology.
I put together the EBP reviews as a short, easy-to-read e-book and I put the GNU General Public License "copyleft" on it so y'all are free to use it on Wikipedia. You can download my e-book free from [1]. If no one works on this article I'll try to do something when have time.--TDKehoe (talk) 22:36, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
Hello,
I found a meta analysis that looked at pharmacological treatments for childhood-onset fluency disorder and found that none of the medications were proven effective. The information present in this section already suggests this, but this could provide another resource- which is also a meta-analysis. Here is a short paragraph I wrote about some of the findings.
Numerous associations between pathways of stuttering development and other types of disorders have been made. Because of these associations researchers have hypothesized that a variety of pharmacological treatments should ameliorate problems with stuttering. Anticonvulsant agents used to treat epilepsy have been tested on those who stutter, but showed no significant results. Antidepressants, both selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and tricyclic, have shown no effect on stuttering symptoms; nor have antipsychotic agents used to treat bipolar and schizophrenia. It is important that these studies have found negative results because the implications of taking these medications can be very severe.[1]
