ABSTRACT

Your name is Erica and you are a seven-year-old, European-American female. You are currently living in a rural, farm community with your mother and maternal grandmother. Your father was killed recently in an automobile accident. Your mom was badly hurt in the accident and is still recovering. You were in the car at the time of the accident but are unhurt. Your grandmother moved into your home immediately after the accident to care for you and your mom. You don’t know your grandmother very well because she always lived very far away and you only saw her once a year. You attend first grade at a nearby elementary school. You are being interviewed by a practitioner in private practice.
