Abstract:
This paper describes the psychological and clinical course of a nine-year-old girl from Gaza admitted to a Pediatric Department. A family-centered psychological intervention was implemented during hospitalization. The clinical presentation was consistent with post-traumatic stress disorder. The case highlights the importance of early psychological intervention in supporting trauma processing, limiting the effects of prolonged hospitalization, and fostering a shared multidisciplinary narrative of the traumatic experience.
