People with selective mutism suffer in silence. They are often unseen and untreated, especially in developing countries like China. It is vital to increase awareness of this anxiety disorder, since understanding is a precursor of taking steps to assist sufferers. Psychologist Ruth Perednik’s life’s work has been helping children with selective mutism find their voices.
选择性缄默症患者在沉默中忍受痛苦。他们常常被忽视而得不到治疗，尤其是在像中国这样的发展中国家。提高对这种焦虑症的认识至关重要，因为在采取行动帮助患者之前，我们首先需要了解这种病症。心理学家露丝·佩雷德尼克（Ruth Perednik）一生都专注于帮助患有选择性缄默症的儿童找到他们自己的声音。 Ruth is an Israel psychologist who is born in England.
