There are a few other papers that mention IBSR and mention Byron Katie more explicitly.. however it seems like kind of a standard practice to take “Woo smelling” interventions, rename them to a scientific sounding acronym, and erase their lineage in order to get more acceptance. See also MBSR (mindfulness based stress reduction) which was a (mostly successful) attempt to get mindfulness meditation accepted into mainstream psychotherapy, and RTM( Reconsolidation of Traumatic Memories) which is an attempt to get the NLP fast phobia cure accepted as a standard treatment for PTSD.
My prior is that Byron Katie is in fact pretty involved in trying to get her work mainstream and the IBSR rebranding.
