The book has been written for applied researchers and practitioners
in the disciplines of school psychology, speech-language pathology,
special education, expressive therapy, family therapy, psychiatry,
clinical psychology, pediatric medicine, and social work. Elective
mutism is discussed within the important context of silence and
gender differences in communication. The elective mutism literature
focuses on the characteristics of specific patients but little has
been done in systematic theory building. Hadley addresses this
issue and argues for a multidimensional theory of elective mutism.
The book has five major purposes: (1) to provide a background for
the problem of elective mutism by identifying the characteristics
of healthy users of silence; (2) to provide a compendium of
practical approaches for assessing and treating elective mutism;
(3) to suggest etiological models of elective mutism based on the
evaluation and synthesis of case study data; (4) to identify
recurring themes and major issues in the published literature; and
(5) to identify research questions related to the assessment and
treatment of elective mutism. A unique feature of the book is the
inclusion of an assessment instrument for monitoring and recording
information about the behavior of silence users. It can also be
used to monitor and record progress during treatment. The book
addresses the characteristics of elective mutism, psychosocial
factors of silence and communication, psychosocial characteristics
of electively mute persons, theories of elective mutism, legal
aspects of the silence user role, direct observation of behavior,
why-questions beyond direct observation, assessment of electively
mute behavior, and unsystematic informal treatments. The treatment
section is extensive and includes behavioral interventions such as
positive self-modeling and expressive therapies such as play
therapy, phototherapy and art therapy.
