We present the case of an 11-:year old boy from Northern Luzon who was referred for psychotherapy because of Selective Mutism (SM) symptomatology. In this case, the unique situation of the child growing up in a multi-cultural home presents new dimensions when looking at SM.

Together with the usually expressed reasons such as shyness or fear of negative evaluation, it seems that a dimension of inconsistent parenting is contributing to the anxiety felt by the child. This inconsistency contributes to the possible failure of a child to interact with the environment as he doesn't know what kind of reinforcement he will receive from it and, consequently, feels anxious about this uncertainty. 2011-08-01T07:00:00Z text https://animorepository.dlsu.edu.ph/faculty_research/7307 Faculty Research Work Animo Repository Selective mutism Parent and child Psychology
