IBSR Intervention for Adults Who Stutter

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Stuttering is a speech disorder that can cause disturbances in the timing and flow of speech. It is often accompanied not only by verbal difficulties but also by negative impact on several psycho-social aspects in the life of the people who stutter.

Recently, clinical evidences have shown the effectiveness of Inquiry Based Stress Reduction (IBSR) technique to improve psychosocial symptoms and enhance well-being in clinical and non-clinical samples. IBSR, the clinical application of Byron Katie's "The Work", enables individuals to mindfully spot and investigate in a systematic and comprehensive manner thoughts that lead to stress and suffering by a series of questions and turnarounds. IBSR was found to have significantly positive influence on the quality of life, mental well-being and stress management in a variety of populations which suffer from elevated levels of stress, suffering, tension and anxiety, and to enhance resilience of non-clinical general population.

In our research we hypothesized that:

1. Adults who stutter will have high levels of anxiety, and low levels of psychological flexibility and satisfaction with life.

2. IBSR intervention will improve experience of stuttering in adults who stutter.

3. IBSR will decrease anxiety levels and enhance psychological flexibility and satisfaction with life.
