Question:
This movie wants the viewer to understand how King George felt about his speech challenges. We know that often PWS (persons who stutter) have low self esteem. Some feel this develops from negative speech related experiences and some believe it develops from a sense of failure to succeed at something that is easy for everyone else. Discuss your view of the King's self concept. Did he lack self confidence? Did his speech influence the decisions he made in his life? Would you view his feeling about his speech as healthy, if he were a patient of yours? Do you feel he had a low self esteem?
