A ten-year follow-up study of sixty-six school-phobic children.

Abstract

Forty-nine school-phobic children were re-evaluated five to ten years after the original contact. Assessments were made of school attendance and adjustment, subsequent development, adolescent attitudes toward family, heterosexuality and independence. Only two have not returned to school. The children are divided into three groupings: those with no limitations, those moderately limited and those severely limited, in their subsequent development.
