“…Como señalan Freedle et al (2021), los/as niños/as son especialmente vulnerables a desarrollar un trastorno por estrés postraumático después de ser expuestos a un desastre natural o a un evento impactante. Los/as menores pueden verse más afectados por este tipo de eventos porque aún no han alcanzado un nivel de madurez suficiente, y porque dependen del apoyo de adultos que también han sufrido trauma (Wang y You, 2022). La angustia que sufren ante estos eventos les afecta a nivel físico, emocional, comportamental, social y académico.…”

“…En este momento, la caja de arena puede ser una herramienta útil para el tratamiento y para evitar un empeoramiento de los síntomas. Estos autores proponen realizar un tratamiento en cuatro fases: acomodación (hasta 6 meses después del evento), conexión con los niños/as (6-12 meses), confianza (12-24 meses), separación y libertad (después de 24 meses) (Wang y You, 2022).…”

“…En suma, tanto niños/as como adolescentes que han sufrido un trauma crean escenarios muy caóticos y juegan de manera muy desorganizada en el inicio de la terapia (Dobretsova y Batista, 2019;Tornero y Capella, 2017). Tal y como se ha expuesto en la introducción, los/as niños/as comienzan su proceso representando wounding themes y evolucionan hasta terminar representando con mayor frecuencia healing themes (Dobretsova y Batista, 2019;Freedle et al, 2021Matta y Ramos, 2021Wang y You, 2022;Yeh et al, 2015). Aunque es algo que requiere aún mucha investigación, los/as niños/as que han sufrido trauma parecen representarlo en la caja de arena de una manera similar.…”

Experimentar un acontecimiento traumático durante una etapa de desarrollo como la infancia y la adolescencia se relaciona con un mayor riesgo de problemas de salud física y mental durante el resto de la vida. Dada la alta prevalencia de experiencias traumáticas en la infancia, es necesario contar con técnicas como la caja de arena, que permitan trabajar el trauma de una manera adaptada a estos/as niños/as. El objetivo de esta revisión es recopilar la evidencia existente sobre la eficacia de Sandplay Therapy (ST) en el tratamiento del trauma con niños/as y adolescentes. Los resultados muestran un efecto significativo de ST en síntomas post- traumáticos, internalizantes y externalizantes, así como en la adherencia de adolescentes a la terapia y en el bienestar de menores que han sufrido traumatización colectiva (desastres naturales, atentados etc.). Aunque los estudios de esta revisión muestran evidencia esperanzadora, hay una carencia de estudios y es necesario someter la ST a más investigaciones, con diferentes poblaciones y contextos. De esta manera, se confirmará el beneficio que esta herramienta puede aportar al tratamiento del trauma infantil, en el campo de la psicología clínica y en el de los servicios de protección a la infancia.

“…As Freedle et al (2021) point out, children are particularly vulnerable to developing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after exposure to a natural disaster or an impactful event. They may be more affected by these types of events because they haven't yet reached a sufficient level of maturity, and they rely on the support of adults who have also experienced trauma (Wang & You, 2022). The distress they experience in response to these events affects them physically, emotionally, behaviorally, socially, and academically.…”

Experiencing a traumatic event during a developmental stage, such as childhood and adolescence, is related to an increased risk of physical and mental health problems during the rest of life. Given the high prevalence of traumatic experiences in childhood, there is a need for techniques such as Sandplay, which allows working with trauma in a way that is adapted to these children. The objective of this review is to compile the existing evidence on the efficacy of Sandplay Therapy (ST) in the treatment of trauma in children and adolescents. The results show a significant effect of ST on post-traumatic, internalizing, and externalizing symptoms, as well as on adolescents' adherence to therapy and on the well-being of children who have suffered collective traumatization (natural disasters, bombings, etc.). Although the studies in this review show encouraging evidence, there is a lack of studies, and it is necessary to subject Sandplay Therapy to more research with different populations and contexts. This way, the benefit that this tool can bring to the treatment of childhood trauma in the field of clinical psychology and child protection services will be confirmed.

“…It was also further explained that younger children with a healthy coping mechanism and positive support had a lower risk to develop psychological disorders. Recent study reports that children and adolescents experience the most severe mental trauma in the 12-18 months following an earthquake (Wang & You, 2022). A study by Kar (2006) explained that children and adolescents were the age group most affected by a disaster.…”

The negative impact of the disaster was the crisis experienced by the victims, showed by tension, stress, and frustration. Children and adolescents are a vulnerable group to experience mental health problems after a disaster. This study case aims to identify psychosocial issues among adolescents following the devastating disaster. Qualitative data were collected through in-depth interviews with five survivors aged 16 to 17 years old. Participants reported trauma, anxiety, and grief. Nonetheless, they developed positive coping mechanisms to help them adapt to post-disaster situations. Families contributed by providing a safe and comfortable space, while schools played role in delivering post-disaster education. The findings imply that a psychosocial intervention needs to be developed for adolescents who are to this day still struggling with the psychological consequences of the natural catastrophe.
