Subtitle

Child and family psychiatry: school refusal

Synopsis

Places school refusal in the context of the general prevalence of psychiatric problems in children and) in the general framework of the ‘establishment of autonomy’ of the child within the dynamic evolution of family relationships. Outlines the normal pattern of progressive separation from parents, and the factors (e.g. psychiatric or physical illness in the parents) that can disturb this process. Distinguishes between school refusal and truanting and reviews the presenting symptoms, (e.g. somatic manifestations), assessment procedures (e.g. family and individual interviews) and main management priorities (e.g. return to school). Introduces an educational psychologist who describes the educational welfare services’ work and reviews the various outcomes that can be expected.
