Based on ANOVA findings, the result revealed that there is significant effect of war on children from 10-14 years since N = 63; F = 3.421; p = 0.006. Psycho Therapy activities are used to identify and treat those maladjusted children under their noses. The main objective of this paper is to recognize and reduce the ill-effects and adverse consequences of trauma among the affected children and integrate them into social institutions to lead a normal life.
