Synopsis

Selectively mute children are at a significant disadvantage personally, socially and educationally. This unique manual emphasises practical assessment and treatment and provides advice and information, filling a significant gap in the availability of suitable resources in this field. It uses an approach based on behavioural principles and a hierarchy of stages of confident speaking originally conceived by Anthony Glassberg. It summarizes relevant literature and theory and provides detailed ideas on assessment and management. It includes case examples, photocopiable material, and a discussion about progress, transfer and discharge. It is written for teachers, clinical and educational psychologists, speech language therapists, child psychiatrists and parents.

Revue de presse

This excellent book provides a much needed practical manual the authors' extensive clinical experience and their warm enthusiasm with this group of children are reflected throughout the entire text, making the book a great pleasure to read. I fully recommend this resource manual. This book should be a must in every agency that happens to meet children with SM and their families. --European Child Adolescent Psychiatry
