Abstract
School refusal can be a challenging phenomenon for professionals to intervene with, and at very least concerning, if not upsetting, for families and others involved around such cases. Typically, a case involving a young person who will not attend school is complex, with many features or layers of the scenario to attend to (Kearney, 2008a). This complexity is mirrored in the definitions used over the years to describe such behaviours, and exploring these is a starting point.
