This paper reports the results of an efficacy study of a stuttering treatment program known as Modifying Phonation Intervals (MPI), which trains stuttering speakers to reduce the frequency of relatively short phonation intervals (PIs) during connected speech across speaking tasks and situations. Five young adult male stuttering speakers were treated in this computer-based program that systematically trains speakers to reduce selected short PIs found to functionally control stuttering. The treatment process was evaluated using multiple-baseline designs. Treatment was largely self-managed and based on a performance-contingent schedule of within-clinic speaking tasks (Establishment), beyond-clinic speaking tasks (Transfer), and systematic decreases in assessment occasions (Maintenance). Assessments were made at regular intervals before, during, and after treatment. All speakers achieved stutter-free and natural-sounding speech during within- and beyond-clinic speaking tasks at the completion of Mainte-nance. All were tested 12 months after completion of Maintenance, and all maintained the results. The findings from this study suggest that this procedure may make a significant contribution to stuttering treatment practice.

Methods Of Treatment

Similarities between the addictions suggest that much may be learned about the management of opiate abuse from a study of the problems and results of treatment in other types of compulsive or addictive behavior. Medical methods of treatment, notably methadone, laevo-alpha acetyl methadole, naltrexone and random urine screening, may make a useful contribution to improvements in the outcome of mandatory programs when combined with close supervision, and a rapid and predictable response to lack of compliance. Some important features of a model treatment program are suggested.

Psychodynamic Understanding

The failure of the existing correctional system to rehabilitate is presented. A new model treatment program for criminal offenders, largely derived from Danish and Dutch examples, just begun in Fresno, California, based on our current psychodynamic understanding of the etiology of criminal behavior and operating on many levels including gaining of insight, habit training and reinforcement of positive behaviors, development of interpersonal relations with opportunity for wholesome identification and acquisition of adaptive skills is detailed.

Collagenous Fibers

An unusual structure in the cochlea is the spiral limbus; this periosteal tissue consists of stellate fibroblasts and collagenous fibers embedded in a translucent ground substance. The collagenous fibers are arranged in vertical columns (the auditory teeth of Haschke). Between the auditory teeth are interdental furrows in which the interdental cells are situated. These epithelial cells supposedly secrete the tectorial membrane.The fine structure of interdental cells in the rat was reported by Iurato (1962). Since the mouse appears to be different, a description of the fine structure of mouse interdental cells' is presented. Young adult C57BL/6J mice were perfused intervascularly with 1% paraformaldehyde/ 1.25% glutaraldehyde in .1M phosphate buffer (pH7.2-7.4). Intact cochlea were decalcified in .1M EDTA by the method of Baird (1967), postosmicated, dehydrated, and embedded in Araldite. Thin sections stained with uranyl acetate and lead citrate were examined in a Phillips EM-200 electron microscope.
