Sexual violence (SV) against children and adolescents is a serious public health problem that can have negative consequences for cognitive, behavioral and emotional development. Psychological evidence-based interventions become indispensable for the effective management of symptoms and changes resulting from VS. In Brazil, the Superar - Cognitive-behavioral group therapy Program has evidence of effectiveness, but clinical practice points to the need for interventions in individual format. This article aims to present the application of this program in two clinical cases in individual format. The participating girls (9 and 16) were victims of interfamilial VS. The therapeutic process is described and the results indicated a decrease in symptoms of depression and stress. Furthermore, before the intervention girls had diagnostic criteria for post-traumatic disorder that were not filled at the end of this. It was found that Superar Program also had positive results in the single format.

Keywords : sexual violence; cognitive-behavioral therapy; children; adolescents.
