Some techniques in rehabilitating the school phobic adolescent

This paper has described several intervention strategies which may be of help to the school phobic adolescent. I have set forth the specifics of the attendance contract which is negotiated with the youngster and with the school. Principles of community mental health stress the importance of collaboration with other care givers to resolve psychological problems. Therefore, I have placed major emphasis on the role of the school in enhancing the early return of the school phobic youngster to school.
