Time-Line therapy is terrific and the results are very exciting. After I used it on myself in the mid 1990's I have added it to my integrated model of therapy. I know few people yet using it in SLP. The field of SLP has really dabbled into REBT, CBT, Gestalt, Rogerian conversational reframing, and other modalities intended to help reduce anxiety and fear common in stuttering. The word zeitgeist means following popular trends. We have seen meds come and go. We have seen in-the-ear prosthetic devices surge and then fade away. We have seen different CBT techniques gain favor and then simmer. I began my self-help journey in 1987. NLP and time-line therapy are the best I know of. Neurosemantics is a new domain of NLP (search net). As a clinician it is REALLY exciting to take say a 3rd grader and release all of his fear and avoidance quickly...then teach him traditional modification and shaping techniques. The targets go in much better when anxiety is flushed out.
