Autorenporträt
Dr. Wingate received a Bachelor degree in psychology from Grinnell College, and Master and Doctoral degrees in clinical psychology from the University of Washington. During his time at the University of Washington, he received a Veterans Administration fellowship that required travel to three V. A. installations. His experiences in those facilities were a very valuable part of his education. While completing formal education he served as the psychologist for a children's hospital and a cerebral palsy center. About a year after receiving the doctorate he accepted a position as psychologist and faculty of the University of Washington speech pathology program. Dr. Wingate remained there until 1968; moved to SUNY Buffalo for five years; spent two years at the University of Arizona; then transferred to Washington State University, originally as chairman of what was then the Department of Speech.Immersion in speech pathology course work led Dr. Wingate to an interest in stuttering, especially because stuttering was believed so widely to be a psychological problem. However, from his range of clinical experiences, study of the relevant literature, and his own research, he soon came to be impressed that psychological interpretations of stuttering were much overdrawn. In particular, Dr. Wingate found the "evaluation theory" of Wendell Johnson, so broadly accepted, to be superficial and objectively unsupportable. His original critical analysis of that formulation appeared as a three-article series, published in the Journal of Speech and Hearing Disorders in 1962. Inquiry into the nature of stuttering has remained his professional focus. His works, typically moving against the tides of belief, have just as typically evoked reaction - which continues. Nonetheless, he perceives a slow change of climate emerging in the field., which Foundations of Stuttering should help promote.
