Abstract

Cognitive, emotional and social problems are being experienced to long-term follow up of children with cancer. Children diagnosed with cancer are frequently suffered from major mental illnesses such as depression, post-traumatic stress disorder and somatization disorder. This paper reports, in substantial details, a 16-year-old female adolescent case who had exposed to a long time period of medical treatment after the diagnosis of Ewing’s Sarcoma and was admitted to our clinic for psychiatric symptoms related to sequelae of cancer. In this manuscript we are discussing supportive psychotherapeutic approaches implemented to this adolescent and its follow-up therapeutic results.
