Summary:
"
Selective
Mutism
is a complex childhood anxiety disorder characterized by a child's inability to speak and communicate effectively in select social settings, such as school. Most children with
Selective
Mutism
also have social phobia or social anxiety. This disorder is quite debilitating and painful to the child. Many children with
Selective
Mutism
have great difficulty responding or initiating communication in a nonverbal manner; therefore social engagement may be compromised. Bringing together the latest research and understanding on
selective
mutism
, this edited book gives essential information on the various treatment and therapy options. Experts in the fields of speech and language therapy, psychology, music therapy education and communication offer a wide range of professional perspectives on the condition, while case studies from people with
selective
mutism
, past sufferers and
parents
reveal the personal impact. The book also clarifies what support a person with
selective
mutism
is likely to need at home, school and in social situations. This definitive volume on
selective
mutism
will be key reading for
professionals
such as speech and language therapists, educational psychologists, child psychiatrists, child and adolescent mental health workers and anyone working with
selective
mutism
in therapeutic and educational settings, as well as family members wanting a closer understanding of what
selective
mutism
is and how they can help. Alice Sluckin is Chair and Founder of the
Selective
Mutism
Information and Research Association (SMIRA). She was a senior psychiatric social worker in a clinical setting for many years. Rae Smith is a retired speech and language therapist and senior lecturer in speech pathology and therapy (specializing in child language and communication development and disorder). The editors both live in Leicester, UK"--Provided by publisher.
