Case example 2: Luwi, a 13-year-old Zambian girl was staying with her aunt who was supportive and participating in the TF-CBT treatment with her (both of the girl’s parents had died of AIDS). However, her uncle was often verbally abusive of Luwi and treated her “like a 2nd class citizen” (a phrase commonly used with HIV orphans living with other family members). Luwi shared with the therapist that her uncle came home during the day (when aunt was at work) with alcohol on his breath. At these times the uncle would often try to sexually abuse her. He had never actually molested her, but Luwi was frightened that she would get pregnant or contract HIV, and be forced to leave aunt’s home just as she had been forced to leave her previous aunt’s home when she disclosed sexual abuse by her other uncle. She did not want to tell her aunt about her uncle’s behavior because Luwi did not want to risk her aunt getting angry at her, or not believing her. Luwi summarized her situation: “I don’t have any other family to live with, I will have to live on the streets.” The therapist believed that the aunt would be supportive, but Luwi said that she would run away before telling the aunt about her uncle. The therapist was concerned that the danger of Luwi running away was imminent and real, so agreed not to discuss what was occurring with the aunt. The therapist and Luwi developed the strategy that if the uncle came home with alcohol on his breath during the day when the aunt was at work, Luwi would say that she had to go to the market in order to fix him something to eat. She would then leave and not return until her aunt had returned home. Luwi practiced this strategy with the therapist and felt empowered to do it with her uncle. The following week she reported that she had used it successfully and, after a few weeks, she felt able to share with her aunt what had been occurring.
