Abstract

This Grand Rounds presents the case of a girl who, at the age of 1 year, witnessed her mother's violent death. She was first seen by a child psychiatrist at age 4 years and has remained symptomatic for more than 5 years after the traumatic event. The case is discussed from the standpoint of the interrelationships among posttraumatic stress, memory, attachment, and mourning.
