Sound and Silence<\/span> in Group Psychotherapy<\/span> with Nursery Aged Immigrant Children, with Special Reference<\/span> to an Electively Mute Child<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

I will look at the experience of sound and silence<\/span> as it was expressed within a group I ran, some years ago, at a nursery school. This group was set up to try and facilitate the integration<\/span> of children from a minority immigrant community, into the nursery, where the majority of the children were white and from middle-class backgrounds. All the children referred were between the ages of four and six years old. A third of the referrals over a period of four years were of children experiencing elective mutism. Others were extremely isolated and socially withdrawn<\/span>, or experiencing communication<\/span> difficulties, and problems with aggression and disruptive<\/span> behavior. Of particular significance was the complex<\/span> issue of language that contributed to the group dynamics. The meaning and significance of language, and the fact of not having one fluent common language was a painful ongoing theme, creating a soundscape which could, at times be noisy, volatile, dissonant, cut into by silences that were frozen, hostile. In my paper I discuss the case<\/span> of an electively mute child<\/span> and her engagement initially individually with me, and then in the group, and her gradual movement from silence<\/span> to the use of verbal communication<\/span>. I discuss the significance and meaning of language, in the context of the intergenerational experience of separation, loss<\/span> and trauma<\/span>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
