Samuel is a 14-year-old boy with a cognitive disability who functions at
about the level of a 5-year-old. He was referred to you by a child welfare
worker after a report of physical abuse by his mother. Your trauma
assessment found that Samuel had a long history of significant physical
abuse by both his parents. Samuel reported that when his parents beat
him, it was his fault because he did something wrong, and that he
usually deserved the punishment. He often felt guilty about causing his
parents to hit him and ashamed of himself for being bad. A standardized
measure of PTSD symptoms completed by his current caregiver, an
aunt, was in the high normal range. Is Samuel a good treatment
candidate for TF-CBT and why? Correct Answer-Yes, Samuel's
problems with guilt, self-blame, and shame are clinically significant

for which TF-CBT is appropriate, and his self-blame and emotional
symptoms are appropriate treatment targets.
