CASE STUDY ABOUT EMA: PSYCHOTHERAPEUTIC WORK WITH AN EIGHT-YEAR-OLD GIRL

Summary/Abstract: This paper presents the initial and middle phases of psychotherapeutic work with an eight-year-old girl. The girl was brought to the first session by her mother, who has objections to her fulfillment of school obligations (she is not persistent, does not participate in group activities - or is excluded very quickly, fails toestablish cooperative relations with children from the class). Immediately after arriving at my office, there was an incident with three boys from the class: they pulled her with a scarf wrapped around her neck and knocked her to the floor. Aware that the symptom (behavior that Emma shows, which mom complains about) is only a manifestation of Emma‘s adaptation to background factors in the field, the psychotherapeutic work went in the direction of clarifying the background, verbalization and expression of Emma‘s repressed feelings related to relationships with peers, relationship with her mother, losses that marked her childhood… In this paper, psychotherapeutic work with a girl is divided into three phases in, together with a significant episode, while at the end of the paper a critical stance of psychotherapeutic work is given as well as a plan for further work.
