An adult with childhood medical trauma treated with psychoanalytic psychotherapy and EMDR: a case study.

Problem: Adverse childhood experiences have been found to be a strong predictor of emotional and physical problems in adulthood. However, the long-term sequelae for children who have suffered critical illness and exposure to invasive medical procedures are less well documented.

Methods: This is a case study of an adult client who sought treatment for depression and attention deficit disorder.
