Application of a web-based cognitive-behavioural therapy programme for the treatment of selective mutism in Singapore: a case series study.

Recent reviews suggest that cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) is an effective and promising treatment approach for SM. However, there is still a lack of studies documenting the applicability of CBT for SM in diverse populations.
