Nitza Katz-Bernstein

Why doesn't the girl speak in kindergarten? Why does the boy remain silent in school? Children with selective mutism have the ability to speak but do not use it in unfamiliar situations or with certain individuals. Communication with them may be completely impossible or only possible through gestures and written messages. In her book, Nitza Katz-Bernstein outlines the manifestations of this disorder and explains the diagnostic and therapeutic options. She integrates therapeutic components from various psychotherapeutic schools and different disciplines such as speech therapy and child and adolescent psychotherapy.
