Extract

Research into the problem of elective mutism and functional speech disorders has not been excessive during the past 10 years. Previous to this, however, Black (1966) drew attention to the fact that speech problems have occurred throughout history, and problems of stuttering were recorded in hieroglyphics by the ancient Egyptians.
