ABSTRACT
This chapter presents a case of Anna. The pregnancy was normal, and she was born 14 days before term. Anna started primary school when she was six. She was well able to meet the academic demands, but from third grade on, unusual things started to happen which Anna described as “attacks.” The abuse continued until she was 12. The friend told Anna she should tell the doctor who treated her at the hospital about, which Anna finally did. Anna’s care-giver in the group home insisted that Anna be admitted to the University Clinic for Neuropsychiatry for Children and Adolescents, on the one hand as crisis intervention and, on the other hand, to find a reason for the increasingly frequent attacks. Anna’s family is accepted as an average family within their social environment. The psychological work-up shows, on the one hand, massive traumatization of Anna by father and, on the other, fear of losing her connection to her mother.
