EDUCATOR INDUCED POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER (EIPTSD) IN A 6 YEAR OLD BOY
Abstract
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a delayed and/or protracted response to exceptionally threatening
or catastrophic events. The event is persistently remembered or relived with concomitant distress
sometimes even leading to harmful life-long psychological sequelae. We present a 6-year old boy who
developed the classical syndrome following corporal punishment at school when his class teacher
injected an empty syringe into his gluteal region.
