Hi Tim, I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "modalities," but from what I've seen most of the variations in CBT are derived from the work of Albert Ellis. One source that I've found helpful for examples of CBT implementation is Egan's book The Skilled Helper. Seligman's work on "learned optimism" is based upon CBT principles as well. As you probably know, there have been several research studies on CBT application with stuttering. One recent one is by Menzies,O'Brian, Onslow, Packman, St Clare, & Block (2008) Journal of Speech, Language & Hearing Research, 51, 6, 1451-1464. In that article they reference a "cognitive restructing package" which had been set up for use with people who stutter. So, as I think you were saying in your post, there's not one "set way" to implement CBT. Still, from what I've seen, many approaches are similar with regard to main components (which Barbara outlined in her post.) Ken
