Many children experience traumatic events at a very young age, with some developing corresponding posttraumatic stress symptoms and sleep issues. The negative impact of these symptoms can be prolonged and sometimes irreversible in children and youth due to incomplete neurological, physiological and psychological development. Compared to adults, research has shown that children are more likely to develop posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after experiencing a trauma. Although there are many effective evidence-based practices, there is a need for creative and complementary treatments emphasizing the nature and developmental level of the child population with stress- and sleep-related symptoms. In order to address this need, this dissertation conducted a pilot study that used randomized controlled trial with mixed methods research design to explore the efficacy of a Solution-Focused Art Therapy (SF-AT) intervention on treating PTSD and sleep symptoms among 41 school-aged children with traumatic experiences. SF-AT was built on several theoretical frameworks, including systems theory, neurosequential model, psychodynamic theory, and constructivism theory; and adopts solution-focused perspectives while using art activities as operational techniques and means of communication and expression. A detailed SF-AT manual was developed by the researcher with consultation of a group of experts in psychotherapy and intervention research. Two-way repeated measure analysis of variance (RM-ANOVA) was conducted with comparisons between pre-post and treatment-control conditions to examine study outcomes using the Connecticut Trauma Screen (CTS), the Child Reaction to Traumatic Events Scale-Revised (CRTES) and the Sleep Self Report (SSR). An Applied Thematic Analysis (ATA) approach was used in order to explore the lived experience of SF-AT participation and perceived changes. Findings indicated that the SF-AT significantly alleviated PTSD and sleep symptoms, and is more effective than the control group on the CRTES and the SSR total score. Sleep behavior change, sleep time change, and daytime sleepiness change, partially mediated treatment effects of PTSD from pre- to post-treatment. Qualitative results from transcripts of twelve focus group participants showed that the SF-AT was enjoyed and recognized as useful by children. In addition, themes including general experience, perceived change, useful treatment elements, favorite activities, group format, therapeutic relationship and suggestions are presented. Finally, detailed discussions of the study results on efficacy, mediation effect and lived experience; study limitations on sample, confounders, measurements, qualitative analysis, and fidelity; and implications for SF-AT treatment and for social work practice with traumatized children were discussed. Recommendations for future research and study conclusions were also presented.
