ABSTRACT
This chapter reviews the treatment of active physical neglect based on a case. Five concepts that are central to treatment are introduced: Security, Trauma Focus, Overcoming Avoidance, Resource Focus, and Mentalization. These make up the STORM trauma treatment model. In this chapter, a child's case story and her treatment form the framework for a description of mentalization-based trauma treatment. Isabella's story is a classic example of a number of the elements that can be important to take into account when working with traumatized children and adolescents.
