Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder: treatment outcomes for a Kuwaiti child

Center for Social Work Education, Widener University, One University Place, Chester, PA 19013-5792, USA

Children who experience political violence and wars are vulnerable to different sorts of psychological reactions. Unfortunately, cultural constraints and the stigma attached to therapy may prevent these children from receiving needed treatment. This study presents a case of a child with PTSD where a single subject design was used to measure treatment outcomes. The design enabled the social worker to assess, monitor and measure the course of treatment. The advantages of applying the design in clinical intervention in other cultures are highlighted.
