Chronic school refusal has traditionally been classified under broad categories such as school phobia and truancy. However, the need for improved recognition and treatment of school refusal has heightened efforts to identify subtypes of school refusal behavior. Recent efforts have focused on functional subtypes of school refusal. This article purposes to extend recent efforts by showing that the three basic subtypes of anxiety, avoidance, and malingering are not only functional, bur consistent with refusal characteristics, empirical evidence from factor analysis and clinical diagnosis over the past decade, and treatment approaches. Such extension is intended to aid practitioners in further understanding and using functional subtypes. (C) 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
