Abstract

We present a case example of a 9-year-old, biracial girl and her mother. We integrate data collected from rating scales (e.g.. Child Behavior Checklist; Achenbach & Rescorla, 2001), a free response measure (Thematic Apperception Test; Murray, 1943), and a direct observation measure (Parent-Child Interaction Assessment-II; Holigrocki, Kaminski, & Frieswyk, 1999, 2002) and reveal how a child sexual abuse victim's internal representations and symptoms manifest in both an interpersonal context and in the realm of play. We discuss assessment findings regarding how they provide for an idiographic understanding of the child. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) (journal abstract)
