I have a new child on my caseload with this anxiety disorder, and not having had any training in this during graduate school I needed to do my own research on how to create a treatment plan. This manual is incredibly comprehensive and offers so many practical plans to implement in therapy. I have four or five books on the topic and this one by far the most useful.

This has been a really informative book, I suffered from Selective Mutism from the age of 4 to about 16. It then shifted to Social Anxiety, in my early 20s I began expanding my social circle and made significant progress. In my late 20s I moved to a different country and my SM came back.

I've been trying to go through this book slowly so I can absorb what I'm reading and I'm glad I did. It has made me realize that my SM started before going to school and what my triggers were.

Although the book is geared towards parents and helping their child I feel like adults who also suffer from SM can benefit from the resources listed inside.
