The reason I ask: I’ve found from personal experience, and from talking to others who have used REBT or CBT alongside traditional stuttering therapies, that people who stutter can better manage their fluency (reducing the severity or frequency of stuttering) or even, in some cases, become spontaneously fluent (speak fluently without trying) simply by changing their thoughts and attitude towards stuttering, as taught in REBT & CBT. What is your experience with these therapies? Gunars Neiders, Psy. D. Candidate P.S. My friend, Will Ross, and I are writing a self-help book — based on my dissertation — teaching people who stutter how to use REBT & CBT to (1) enhance their self-acceptance, and (2) change their view of stuttering to develop greater fluency. If you’d like a copy of the book once it’s published, please e-mail me at neidersg@comcast.net
