“…Other studies focused on the social relationships of students with SM (e.g., Cunningham et al., ; Diliberto & Kearney ; Sharkey & McNicholas, ). Some of these studies pointed out that children with SM may show less social competence in both nonverbal and verbal social situations because of their withdrawal from social interactions (Carbone et al., ), may have difficulty making friends (e.g., Diliberto & Kearney, ; Sharkey & McNicholas, ), and may be rejected by peers or bullied (e.g., Sharkey & McNicholas, ). However, other studies found that children with SM were not victimized by peers any more than the control children (e.g., Cunningham et al., ).…”

Selective mutism (SM) is a rare anxiety disorder that compromises children's daily life during critical periods of early development. Because school is a prime context for the manifestation of the disorder, the aim of this study was to investigate the quality of the student–teacher relationship and its effects on behavior and work, and on social and relational skills. The sample consisted of 75 children—15 were affected by SM, with 60 in the control group—and 15 teachers. The results showed greater difficulty on the teacher's part to establish a relationship based on affective closeness with a child affected by SM, compared to that with unaffected children. Nevertheless, an encouraging picture emerges of the inclusion and integration of the child with SM among peers and therefore in the class group.

“…However, exclusive therapy using medication may not always be as effective as a combination of medications paired with behavioral and family therapy (Wright, Cuccaro, Leonhardt et al, 1995). Diliberto and Kearney (2016) proposed various approaches based on three main psychological profiles that have been identified in individuals with elective mutism: anxious, anxious-mildly oppositional, and anxious-communication delayed. In their study with 57 children whose mean age was 6.7 years, the researchers found characteristics for two main factors, anxiety, and oppositional behavior.…”

“…Denkbar als Ursache für die Überschätzung dieser Symptomatik sind einerseits die in der Regel starken Protestreaktionen, die Kinder mit Selektivem Mutismus zu Hause bei Ankündigung einer möglichen Konfrontation mit angstbesetzten Situationen zeigen, sowie die Fehlattribution der Symptomatik auf Provokation, die bei vielen Interaktionspartnern (vermutlich aus Hilflosigkeit angesichts der Situation) entsteht. Allerdings wird auch in Betracht gezogen, dass eine distinkte Subgruppe innerhalb der Gesamtgruppe von Kindern mit Selektivem Mutismus vermehrte oppositionelle, aggressive und delinquente Verhaltensweisen aufzeigt [15,24].…”

Selective mutism is a mental disorder that can be characterised by consistent silence in specific situations in which speaking is expected, while speaking is unimpaired in other situations. The mean age of onset lies at preschool age. Selective mutism is caused by biological, psychological, and social factors and is thus multicausal in its aetiology. It belongs to the category of anxiety disorders and exhibits a significant overlap with social phobia. However, differences have also been identified. Another common comorbidity is communication disorder, while the evidence with respect to conduct problems is mixed so far. A positive prognosis is associated with young age, mild disease, and early intervention. Without appropriate treatment, there is a high risk of its becoming a chronic disorder.
