>Creating safe situations where she was forced to speak is the #1 technique to treat that condition. //

I was reading a piece on psychological mutism and the writer stated that the worst possible thing to do was attempt to force the child in to situations where they had to speak. There reasoning was that this lead to stress which increased the chances they wouldn't speak.

Sorry I can't cite the piece as I've lost the reference.

You're perhaps leaning that way? It hinges around what you mean by "force".
