Art Therapy for Children Who Have Survived Disaster

Abstract

Art therapy is a growing field of mental health treatment that uses art as a form of illustrative communication.The approach is based on the belief that the creative process, acting as a form of subconscious expression, can help identify inner conflicts, engender self-esteem and self-awareness, reduce stress, and rebuild an overall physical, emotional, and social sense of well-being.Art therapy is thought to be especially valuable for treating children, who often lack the social or verbal capabilities to express their thoughts and emotions, particularly when they have experienced trauma.
