Abstract
Violence against women, especially sexual violence continues to be a real scourge in our society. We describe the treatment of a 19 year old with PTSD after of being raped by a close relative, who had sexually assaulted the girl when she was 14 years old in their country of origin. After one year of Cognitive-Behavioral treatment (prolonged exposure, cognitive restructuring, anxiety management training and family psycho education regarding posttraumatic symptoms and suicidal ideation) the patient shows full recovery of the posttraumatic symptoms and therapeutic success.
