A systematic approach to a family and school problem: A case study in separation anxiety disorder. Hamilton, Beatrice, Family Therapy, Vol 21(2), 1994, 149-152.
Abstract- Describes the case of a 4-yr-old girl who experienced separation anxiety disorder (SAD) after beginning kindergarten. The mother indicated that she felt frightened and guilty about letting her child go anywhere without her. Also, there was stress in the marriage relationship. The 9 criteria for diagnosing SAD are listed. The case was approached from a systematic perspective, and a combination of behavioral modification techniques was used to minimize the child's stress level, including instruction, modeling, relaxation, and in vivo exposure. Assessments and interventions by both family and school minimized the child's problems and reduced stress in the family and in family–school relationships. After 5 wks of treatment the child rode the school bus with no problem. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved).

Model for Managing Anger and Conflict” published inERIC, ED 329847 Record Details - ED329847 ERIC Full Text Abstract: Anger is probably the most misunderstood and least expressed feeling. To understand anger, it is necessary to explore the process. Anger usually follows an experience of frustration, unmet expectations, loss of self-respect, and fear. The next stage seems to be anxiety, which may be interpreted as a disappointment, discomfort, or powerlessness. This anxiety is then immediately changed, usually without recognition, into feelings or actions of power and fight. Finally, relief is felt only after release of the negative energy in the body. The constructive way to deal with anger is to confront the situation. Guidelines for fighting fair include the following: (1) establishing the legitimacy of fighting; (2) dealing with one issue at a time; (3) choosing the arena carefully; (4) avoiding reaction to unintentional remarks; (5) avoiding resolutions that come too soon or too easily; (6) avoiding name calling; (7) avoiding cornering an opponent; (8) agreeing to disagree; (9) focusing on what is wanted rather than why it is wanted; and (10) maintaining a sense of humor. If fair or creative fighting is attempted, then three positive outcomes may result: an effective resolution may be found; everyone involved may maintain a clear sense of personal dignity throughout the conflict; or the relationship may be in no way damaged and may even be enhanced.
