I used this book to treat my own shyness
I used this book to treat my own shyness and depression. It was very effective.

Excellent resource
I used this book when I was desparate to find a way to treat my child who has selective mutism. The book was extremely helpful and provided easy to implement suggestions. My son is doing very well because of this book. This is particularly important because I had such a hard time finding a therapist for him and ended up doing this myself. Thank goodness for this book with its logical approach to a frequently overwhelming problem.

The BEST book on Shyness
I did not understand the previous review of Dr. Swallow's book. It did not appear to seek to present "medical evidence of shyness," but rather attempted to present practical suggestions to parents regarding the behavior of their shy children. I found this book to be very helpful....Thanx Dr. Swallow....changed my child's life.
