| Summary |
A multidisciplinary approach to truancy and school refusal is put forward in this extensively rewritten edition of Unwillingly to School. Taking scientific, legal, medical and educational views, the epidemiological aspects of school absence and the clinical features of the various underlying conditions are discussed. Practical advice is given for those who are faced with helping children who fail to attend school, and the future prospects of those who reveal the problem of school absence are outlined |
