Abstract
Withdrawal is defined as an adaptive or coping behaviour in which a person physically pulls away from or psychologically loses interest in an anxiety-producing situation, a person or a stressful environment (Murray and Huelskoetter, 1983).
‘The withdrawn person must be sought—he will not seek others.’ (Topalis and Aquilera, 1978).
