    Open AccessCamille Brault, Isaiah Thomas et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2022

    School refusal complicates identity construction, autonomy, and integration into society.

    The tensions experienced by these participants reveal contradictions between the French universalist ideology and the reality of daily life in schools becoming increasingly multicultural.
