This case involves a 9 – year- old girl diagnosed with desmoplastic medulloblastoma, currently undergoing chemotherapy after previous surgery. She has been referred for psychological evaluation due to emotional distress, heightened anxiety, and difficulty managing anger adjustment to family changes. Clinical observations reveal significant fear of death, emotional withdrawal, and concerns about being replaced, which impact her well- being. The therapeutic focus is on emotional support, addressing fears, and improving her quality of life through cognitive – behavioral therapy and family counseling.
