“There is little consensus regarding the etiology of selective mutism. Psychoanalysts have cited
unresolved internal conflicts as the cause of selective mutism (Cohen et al., 2006). Family systems
theorists argue that children with selective mutism are part of faulty family relationships (Anstendig,
1998). Kratochwill (1981) states that behavioral therapists “have perceived mute behavior as a function of
antecedent and consequent environmental events that vary across situation, people, and time” (p. 137).
Early theorists argued that trauma or major life events, such as abuse or death of a loved one, trigger the
onset of selective mutism (Dow, Sonies, Scheib, Moss, & Leonard, 1995). However, according to
more recent studies, children who have experienced trauma are not more likely to develop selective
mutism, and early childhood trauma is rarely associated with the development of the disorder
(Steinhausen & Juzi, 1996).”
