The assessment and treatment of a toddler, subsequent to a dog bite to her face, are presented. The material is then discussed by the four authors. The apparent differences of opinion concerning definition and diagnosis, the importance of various events in this girl's clinical condition, and the appropriate focus of treatment reflect the complexity of such cases, the current state of knowledge concerning the impact of trauma on very young children, and the need for more clinical research in this important area.
