ABSTRACT
Dissociation often has a strong relationship with psychosocial stressors, some of which are the
interplay between complex family dynamics and a trauma history of multiple sexual abuses that
significantly influences the manifestation of dissociative symptoms. There are notable gaps in
the literature specifically addressing integrated interventions for dissociative conversion disorders
in the context of sexual abuse. This case study focuses on the necessity for tailored therapeutic
interventions particularly for adolescents and reporting child sexual abuse to the Child Welfare
Committee, which is mandated to investigate and assess children and families involved in the
abuse case. This study also emphasizes the psychiatric social work intervention, which adopts a
holistic therapeutic approach, utilizing comprehensive bio-psychosocial assessments and
multidimensional treatment strategies that focus on the individual and familial level and utilise
resources at the tertiary level.
