Özet:

School failure is presence of difference between capacity and grade of student, which is a complex and multifaceted condition. It has been shown that although underlying psychiatric diseases may play role, familial factors are also important in school failure. Sexual abuse is defined as sexual behavior between a child and adult or between two children, one of which is markedly older or is using force for sexual behavior. The individuals subjected to sexual abuse at childhood often experience problems in familial and social relationships at early period. In addition, negligence or avoidance behaviors can be seen against their partner or children at adulthood. We report dramatic improvement in school failure and depression in a child in whom EMDR therapy was provided to mother with history of sexual abuse in addition to treatment of child.
