I conduct trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy will children. I have begun including play therapy in my sessions. I have not been able to find sufficient research studies on play therapy and trauma.
Hello Nathalie Mac-Guffie,
I have not conducted any research or a similar research of this kind, especially with children. I have been working with some elderly with cognitive behavioural impairment, where I have seen play and humour enabling some access to reach out to them, especially when communicating with them became very challenging.
You can take a look at the links attached here which I believe would serve a great purpose bringing you to a desired goal.

Play therapy is a quite generic term and covers many different types of interventions for children. Given your interest in CBT you might fine reference to therapist directed play therapy.
you can be in touch with Dr. Amya Valdman, her PHD examined this subject

Hi!
You might take a look at 2 studies on the web by Esther Cohen and myself. The Children's Play Therapy Instrument has an adaptation for trauma. (CPTI/ATR)
