I found your post very interesting. I had read about Harry Stack Sullivan's work before, but this really brought it home very poignantly. Thank you. I wonder if it would have helped you to have been in a ward like the one he set up?
Without wanting to highjack your thread, I wanted to ask you if you could talk more about something you mention in passing, i.e. that you stopped talking. This happened to me when I was about 16, and I still don't really understand it. The books I have found on elective mutism always only give case studies of small children in the first years of school. I have never read about or spoken to anyone else who became mute as an adolescent. If you prefer we can talk about this via Babblemail.
