Compact Basic KnowledgeWhy 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 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 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.
Translated into English by Terry Moston (3rd edition),
updated edition by Harriet Rössger.
