Case study: Alex is an 8 year old boy who was diagnosed with PTSD as a result of being involved in a car accident. At the time of the crash, Alex was a front-seat passenger in a vehicle driven by his father. Neither Alex nor his father suffered major injuries, however alexs father did suffer a minor injury to his knee after it hit the steering wheel at impact. After the incident, alex’s father went to exchange personal details with the other driver for the purposes of insurance. The other driver was very angry with alex’s father and a verbal altercation occurred, with the threat of violence. alex’s father climbed back into the car to drive away and they were promptly pursued by the other driver for a period of time before the other driver pulled off the road, leaving alex and his father to proceed with their journey. The incident was reported to the police when they arrived home.

In the weeks following the crash, alex was presenting with great distress at bedtime and was no longer able to go to sleep on his own, insisting on sleeping in his father’s bed and taking up to a couple of hours to go to sleep. Nights were frequently disturbed by nightmares, though it was unclear what the content of these were because they were not normally discussed either at the time or the following morning. alex was showing more physical aggression than prior to the accident, and this manifested itself both at home and at school. At home, he was frequently getting into fights with his older siblings and lashing out at the slightest provocation. At school, it had been noted that he was no longer concentrating on his school work and was failing to complete work, even with assistance.
