HISTORY / SYMPTOM HISTORY INCL. PREVIOUS. TREATMENTS & MEDS (50 - 400 words) female 13 years old, diagnose ICD 10 in early childhood F 94.0 selective mutism with successful “ergotherapy”, now F 93.2 emotional disorder with anxiety, F 83.2 discalculia; “waldorf-school”, 7th grade, poor math. No medication. Pre-treatment emotional diagnostics, Sceno-test, “draw-a-house-tree-man”, questionnaire anxiety: emotional stress, total blocking with “open” tasks; progressive activation with more structured tasks – showing marked social and emotional tendency to withdraw, due to shyness and anxiety; test anxiety; feelings of inner emptiness and loneliness, problems with social expectancy. Cognitive diagnostics: HAWIK 3 markedly below average, assumedly due to the anxiety disorder, to be repeated after some treatment period.

PROCEDURE (TRAINING PROTOCOL, NUMBER OF SESSIONS, CHANGES) (50 - 400 words) 15 weekly sessions 4-channel ZOK Z-score-training 20 Min. each, so far T3-T4-C3-C4; Fp1-Fp2-O1-O2; F3-F4-T5-T6; F7-F8-T5-T6; C3-T3-T5-P3; Fp1-F4-T4-P4 (addressing “mirror-neurons”, empathy); high compliance. Transfer: Pat. prefers same animations (two dolphins with water sound) and got a cd with this animation for home training, for example transfer of training effects while doing homeworks with this cd. Changes toward normalization e.g. in these initial findings: T3-C4 hypercoherence in all bands; Theta T3, C4, T4 > .7z , hypocoherence fast waves T5-P3; prefrontal Delta > 1z; overall frontal slowing;

RESULTS (CLINICAL AND REPORT FROM OTHERS) Social behavior: initial reported feelings of being dominated diminished, pat. reported better ability to stand up to classmates and friends. Pat. begins to make shoppings, also occasional meetings with friends. She reports increased alertness, awakeness after each session; she shows good transfer to other situations: with school tests she reminds the

1 Case Identifier: Suggested use: use first three letters of last name followed by first letter of first name, and ending in the number one. If there are individuals from the same family, subsequent referrals are designated by the next integer. For example,“Matilda Abernathy” would be: abem1. Her brother “Cecil” would be abec2. You may use other, similar methods that are simple, unique, and preserve confidentiality.
