School absenteeism is a huge problem in education and this book focuses in particular on children who experience 'school phobia' or 'school refusal' as opposed to those who choose to truant. School refusal is a crippling condition in which children experience extreme anxiety or panic attacks when faced with everyday school life and this handbook aims to explore and raise awareness of the problem of school refusal in children and young people, and provide plans and strategies for education, health and social care professionals for identifying and addressing this problem. Combining educational and clinical perspectives, and with extensive use of case studies, the authors present recent research into the mental health problems associated with school refusal, such as anxiety and panic attacks, as well as the role that parental support plays in their children's school life. They also discuss the role of home tuition services and pupil referral units in extreme cases of school refusal, and provides concrete strategies for planning and organising services to manage the problem effectively.

This is one of a series of nine illustrated books and companion guidebooks that use story telling as a therapeutic tool to help young children who have troubled lives think about and connect with their feelings. In this story, Teenie Weenie experiences what it is like to feel very small in a really scary place until he finds friends and joins with others to learn how tackling things together can make them seem less frightening. The guidebook describes the common psychological origins and most relevant psychotherapeutic theories for the problems addressed. It looks at how some children develop a fearful attitude to life, what life is like for them and how to enable them to speak out and work through their fear. The author includes enacted stories and statements made by children, photocopiable exercises designed to help children think about, express and digest the issues, and further suggested reading. The pack is intended to enable child professionals to recognise the unresolved feelings behind behaviour and to respond correctly to help the child work through that feeling to the point of resolution.

This report draws on interviews with members of the United Kingdom National Phobics Society to explore the implications of the contested nature of specific phobias for their experience and perception. In common with other chronic and contested conditions such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, phobias are stigmatised and subjected to widespread judgmental attitudes in both medical and lay populations. In contrast, however, phobic experience is rarely characterised by difficulty in describing symptoms and obtaining a diagnosis: core fearful reaction to and avoidance of particular objects is usually obvious and uncontested. The crucial difference is that phobias are constituted by emotions and behaviours considered irrational and inconsequential, and it is their (perceived absence of) significance
