I am applying for my phd and my area of interest is disaster(both natural and man-made specifically terrorism) trauma, children and art therapy as an intervention. I am from pakistan and in our country war and terrorism has been increasing. We also face natural disaster like flood and earthquake. Children are the victims but there is no such intervention measures taken for emotional and psychological rehabilitation of children nor we have any trained professionals in this area. since i have been trained in art therapy therefore i want to work on art therapy as an intervention for theses children. I am working on my phd proposal and need some evidence on art therapy and the gaps in it. what is the efficacy of art therapy for children going through trauma after a disaster both natural and man-made?

Dear Ayesha,
This thesis contains much information and many references that will surely be helpful to you. Good luck, Rachel.
Not a meta-analysis but I have written about a post-disaster art project I was involved in if that's any use. Attached for you
