Lila is a 10-year-old girl referred to you by a school counselor due to misbehavior in school and
decreased academic performance that both have become serious problems over the past 3
months. Your trauma assessment revealed that she had been in a serious car crash about three
years ago, suffering some minor physical injuries. Neither she nor her parents report any other
traumatic events. Her mother reported no difficulties related to the car crash and Lila's score on a
standardized measure of PTSD symptoms was in the low normal range. Is Lila a good treatment
candidate for TF-CBT and why?
a. Yes, she probably is avoiding all thoughts and feelings related to the car crash, and treatment
is needed.
