Basic Knowledge about Selective
Mutism!
solid background knowledge
includes many practical advices
with many examples
Why does the girl not speak in
kindergarten? Why does the boy remain
silent during school? Selectively mute children have the ability to speak, but
choose not to use it in unfamiliar situations or in the communication with
certain people. A conversation with these children is often not possible at all or
only via gestures or written messages.
Nitza Katz‐Bernstein elaborates in her book on the symptoms of this
dysfunction and explains the diagnostics and different therapies. She takes into
consideration therapeutic elements from various disciplines such as speech
therapy, as well as different schools of child and adolescent psychotherapy.
