Hi Mark Great question! I agree with Scott that “some people who stutter create fears related to speaking situations (which could be viewed as socially phobic).” I believe that CBT is helpful in treating individuals with either or both problems. Evelyn Klein and I have given the Lieberman Scale to many of the clients we worked with who stutter as well as the OASES and we strongly believe that CBT is very helpful. Evelyn is an SLP and a licensed psychologist with special training in CBT so I agree that working with psychologists is a good thing. However, I also believe that most SLPs can learn to effectively use CBT in treating people who stutter. Best Regards, Barbara
