Innovative Approaches to Treating Selective Mutism in Children
Abstract
Selective Mutism (SM) is a difficult disorder to treat. Despite an awareness of the need for new brief and multidimensional approaches (Jackson et al., 2005), few advancements have been made in the treatment of SM (Lorenzo et al., 2020). Newer treatments that have emerged are generally understudied, seldom applied, or used following unsuccessful attempts through traditional approaches (Bunnell et al., 2015). This paper will discuss three of these new treatments, that can be considered innovative as reflected in their unconventional approaches in comparison with traditional approaches, and in their successful outcomes.
