Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The study's goal is to check and verify basic assumptions of a new selective mutism developmental model from Melfsen and Walitza through standardized and routinely used patient questionnaires. The primary emphasis is the question of a connection between selective mutism and high sensitivity, dissociation, emotional regulation, family structure, social anxiety and self-esteem.

mute children and their mothers

Psychometric questionnaire study

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Four groups participate in the psychometric questionnaire study. A group of mute children and their mothers (EG:A), as well as a normal, healthy control group (KG:A) with roughly the same age and sex characteristics fill out one-time questionnaires about current daily life experiences. In addition, another group of formerly mute adults (EG:B) as well as a comparable age/sex normal control group will be retrospectively questioned using the same specifically tailored questionnaire.
