Abstract : Reviews data which have appeared from 1927-1967. The stance of the reviewer is pluralistic, but, since psychoanalytic and behavioristic views have dominated the literature, a large portion of the review is devoted to these orientations. Problems relative to definitions, normative studies, etiological and treatment considerations, and follow-up studies are discussed. A distinction between etiology and treatment is maintained. Alternative viewpoints are discussed, with the implication that they are complimentary, rather than mutually exclusive. School phobias are dicussed independently of phobias in general, since the similiarities between them seem to be more terminological than etiological.
