 Dr. Martin F. Schwartz, Executive Director of the National Center for Stuttering, is a speech pathologist who treats stutterers - lots of them - more than 14,000 - all over the world - in a career that has spanned decades. Along the way, he wrote a number of books about stuttering - books that were translated into seven languages and, in addition, three authors, at different times and in different countries, wrote books about him. He has trained hundreds of speech therapists, held academic appointments at several major universities, is licensed in six states to treat people who stutter, has lectured all over the world and became a full professor at the age of thirty-three.
In addition to speech pathology, he was trained as a Speech Scientist (Ph.D.), directed several speech research laboratories and, for several years, was only one of two persons to simultaneously be on the editorial staffs of both the Journal of Speech and Hearing Disorders and The Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, the two major journals of the profession.
