AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This case report examines a nine-year-old Syrian refugee girl who developed anxiety and adjustment disorder after serving as her mother's primary interpreter for approximately 10-15 hours weekly. The resource details how this language brokering role led to parentification, secondary traumatization, and emotional over-responsibility. It outlines a treatment plan involving cognitive-behavioral therapy, family sessions, and the removal of the child from interpreting duties, noting significant improvement in symptoms over six months.
