Abstract
According to the Russian Science Citation Index (http://elibrary.ru/), as of 01.02.2016 there were 278 publications on art therapy with children issued in Russian over 2004–2015. They cover features of the art therapeutic method, its main directions and objectives, capabilities and benefits of art therapy for counseling and work with children in crisis and emergency situations. The techniques of art therapy organically fit into the play activity of children, do not create additional stress for children in emergency situations. They distract children from significant experiences, provide vivid physical sensations blocked as a result of trauma, do not cause fatigue since are based on pre-existing skills. Throughout art therapy classes, good performance and activity are maintained in children at a sufficient level. In addition, creative activities contribute to stress relief and optimization of the repertoire of protective and adaptive reactions.
