I need to research the condition where a person alone at home sometimes
feels frightened and helpless because he senses that someone is there in his
immediate presence. If a family member arrives home and enters the subject's
room, the subject frequently looks behind the other person to see whether
this imagined being is standing there.

The subject is presently in his teens, but has had occasional episodes of
severe fright related to these feelings since infancy.

What is this condition called?

What terms should I search on for info?

I recently went through something like what you are describing. Scary
isn't it?
Has he blown on you? IE screamed and come after you? Has he accused you
of 'spying' when in fact you might be innocently asking a question
regarding everyday issues like dinner is in 10, or delivering a phone
message from someone else?
Do their friends feed paranoid crap into his/her head about others?
Closest example of this that I can think of is Anna Nicoles
ex-policewoman mommy who in interviews with the press has stated her
fear that Anna Nicole would die just like her son. I got the impression
she is a 'fear monger' who hasn't looked at what the coroner in her
grandsons case stated. The coroner stated that it had to be OD as the
other two options were murder or suicide. What ex police woman mommy
fails to see is that in her 'scenario' re: murder plot, the only person
in the room with her grandson at the time of his death was Anna Nicole
so her murder plot theory casts her daughter Anna Nicole, as the
murderer.
Why does it bother you that he looks behind you standing there to see if
the other person is standing there?
Not seeing the other person standing there should alleviate his fears to
some degree. I wouldn't push it if I were you.

I call it paranoia. If he is using drugs, those drugs can complicate
his thought process and make him incapable of being reasoned with.
Try to approach him from the side instead of head on when speaking to
him.

What terms should I search on for info?

I wouldn't be asking Usenet for any advise.

It is called, "Paranoia de la Boogie Man".

I went through that myself at age 4. I insisted that the closet doors
be closed because if i woke up in the middle of the night, I used to
see the 'boogie man' hanging in my closet. I used to tie the door
handles closed with my beach bag for safety reasons.
My daughter was afraid of men with beards, this came on suddenly at
around age 2. She had been ok with a friend of ours who had a beard and
'suddenly' developed a fear of men with beards. She is over it thank
God.
She also wouldn't eat anything except cottage cheese and hot dogs from
the age of 2-3 which really upset me. Everyone at work, told me not to
worry and not make a big deal out of her dietary preferences, which had
drastically changed from her first year on earth.

I am so happy to see someone punctuate the word 'subject'!!
He makes it sound as if the boy is a 'criminal' using
'depersonalization' of 'his' 'subject'.

'Subject' was in quotes to show that I had not originally used the
term. Why don't you pull your finger out your arse and answer my point.

To show you how incorrect you are I will illustrate it thusly.

John Jones is an idiot.

Now, everyone has the correct idea about you and your condition. See,
naming conventions are indeed very useful.

Not even ONE straight answer to my question?  <SIGH!
