Stereotypic Behaviors, Stuttering, and Elective Mutism

  • Chapter
Handbook of Child Psychopathology

Abstract

The present chapter focuses upon three variances of childhood psychopathology: stereotypic behaviors, stuttering, and elective mutism. Separately, these behaviors are observed in children on a relatively infrequent basis, yet they are particularly problematic and refractory to change. Stereotypic behaviors usually develop during middle childhood years, while the two language disorders commonly occur in preschool or early school years. Within the realm of specific behavioral disorders, all three are representative of the more general category of childhood habit disorders. Stereotypic behaviors are more comprehensively reviewed in this chapter, while stuttering and elective mutism are more briefly examined.
