She began kindergarten several months ago. She continues to have
difficulty getting ready to go to school in the morning and sometimes refuses to leave
home.
Occasionally, her mother, who remains at home with Mary's younger brother,
allows Mary to stay home simply because she does not have the energy to force Mary
to get dressed, brush her hair and teeth, eat breakfast, and make it outside before the
bus comes. Mary's mother has talked to her teacher and Mary has friends at school.
Her teacher cannot understand why Mary does not want to come to school. According
to Mary's mother, when she forces Mary to go to school, "She always pleads with me
not to forget about her in case she never sees me again. I just don't know where she
would get such an idea." Mary would most likely be diagnosed with:
a. Separation anxiety disorder
b. Specific phobia
c. Social phobia
d. Generalized anxiety disorder
e. School phobia
