  • Title: Case study: is selective mutism a manifestation of dissociative identity disorder?
    Author: Jacobsen T.
    Journal: J Am Acad Child Adolesc Psychiatry; 1995 Jul; 34(7):863-6. PubMed ID: 7649956.
    Abstract:
    Selective mutism is a rare psychiatric disorder that usually has its onset in early childhood. This case study describes a patient in whom selective mutism developed in adolescence. It was later discovered that he had dissociative identity disorder. The study documents his history, which included violence, abuse, and threats to keep silent. The study suggests that in cases presenting with significant trauma or abuse, selective mutism may be a manifestation of dissociative identity disorder.
