Abstract

There are few reports on the follow-up of child-abuse victims or indications that these children need any special treatment beyond removal from the abusing situation. We suggest that indeed these children suffer many sequelae and are in need of individual psychotherapy. A case study of play therapy with a severely regressed girl is presented. Typical issues that need to be resolved to prevent crystallization of chronically disturbed and arrested character structure in these children are discussed.
