School Phobia

  • Chapter
Behavioral Theories and Treatment of Anxiety

Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to examine the current status of school phobia from a learning-based perspective. In pursuing this goal, issues related to diag nosis, incidence, etiology, assessment, treatment, and prevention will be addressed. Quite obviously, a chapter such as this cannot claim to provide an index to all of the literature or issues in this area. Rather, our objective has been to present an overview of major considerations, trends, and points of view that lead to an awareness of the complexity of school phobia and that suggest new and meaningful research directions.
