Bullying not only has a significant influence on victims' physical and emotional well-being, but they are also reported to experience symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) such as nightmares, intrusive thoughts and emotions of hopelessness and powerlessness. The symptomatology of untreated PTSD exposes victims to other psychological issues such as substance abuse, depersonalization and suicide. This case study was conducted to identify the effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy-Systematic Desensitization (CBT-SD), a counseling intervention for reducing symptomatology of PTSD. He was diagnosed with clinically severe symptomatology of PTSD (T> 65) by using the Detailed Assessment of Posttraumatic Stress (DAPS) (Briere, 2001). The treatment planning using CBT-SD technique was constructed aimed at answering the research questions. The results indicate a decrease in the symptomatology of PTSD and other psychological issues, particularly on the scales of dissociation and suicide. Reducing PTSD symptoms has a favourable impact on the client’s cognitive, emotional and behavioural functioning, as seen by his improved personal functioning in his daily life. Hence, prevention and early rehabilitation through counseling interventions are crucial in aiding victims of bullying achieve psychological balance. The implications of this intervention are also discussed.

Mangsa buli di sekolah berisiko tinggi untuk mengalami isu Gangguan Stres Pasca Trauma (PTSD). Pelbagai risiko isu psikologikal mendatang seperti penyalahgunaan bahan serta kecenderungan membunuh diri boleh berlaku jika tidak ditangani. Ekoran daripada itu, penglibatan kaunselor dan guru bimbingan kaunseling diharapkan dapat membendung gejala PTSD ini dengan memberi intervensi awal kepada mangsa buli yang mengalami trauma. Justeru, satu kajian tinjauan analisis keperluan telah dilaksanakan bagi mengenal pasti persepsi kaunselor terhadap isu PTSD mangsa buli. Seramai 161 orang kaunselor dari pelbagai institusi telah terlibat dalam kajian ini melalui teknik Pensampelan Mudah. Kaedah pengumpulan data melalui borang soal selidik telah diedarkan secara atas talian menggunakan aplikasi ‘Google Form’. Data kuantitatif dianalisis menggunakan analisis deskriptif melalui analisis kekerapan dan peratusan. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan bahawa tahap kesedaran kaunselor tentang isu PTSD mangsa buli berada di tahap baik (87.6%). Namun begitu, kesedaran dan pengetahuan kaunselor kurang terhadap isu-isu psikologikal mendatang serta kurang berkemahiran dalam membina intervensi kaunseling yang sesuai. Oleh itu, satu tindakan bagi menerapkan kesedaran, pengetahuan dan kecekapan kemahiran tentang PTSD mangsa buli di kalangan kaunselor khususnya di peringkat sekolah perlu dilaksanakan supaya mangsa buli tidak dipinggirkan tetapi dibantu agar mereka dapat mencapai psikologi yang sejahtera.
