Logical attempts to stop the stammer could be speech therapy but if speech therapy fails to give a result, what then? paradoxical thinking may be about finding an odd alternative and acting on that alternative, no matter how bizarre. If they can do that, they may just find a paradoxical solution.
This is quite brilliant really.
