Abstract
Two cases of school refusal are presented. From the experience of thes e two cases, and support from the literature, early assessment of pare ntal control in cases of school refusal is advocated. When parental co ntrol, even with professional therapeutic support, is not sufficient t o effect an early return to school, intervention in the wider systems which are organised around the problem is recommended.
