Summary/Abstract: Communication forms the foundation of social relationships and largely determines how a person functions within a group. This article focuses on mutism, understood as a specific form of communication disorder. It presents basic information about this phenomenon. The theoretical section is complemented by an analysis of a case study of a five-year-old boy with suspected selective mutism. The conclusions drawn from the case description serve as a basis for considering possible determinants and factors that may contribute to the development of mutism.
