Mut zum Sprechen finden

Children with selective mutism challenge the competence of the therapeutic team and require special empathy. The persistently silent child may turn away or respond to offers with hostility. How can one overcome this stubborn silence in therapy? What does the transfer to everyday life look like? Which techniques are helpful? The authors from various disciplines present seven case studies of children aged 4 to 10, illustrating how therapeutic work can unfold. In addition to information about the child, diagnostics, and therapy goals, the focus is on the methods used and a detailed presentation of the therapeutic milestones.
