Los conflictos armados están relacionados con dificultades sociales, económicas, políticas y culturales que afectan directamente a las personas en situaciones más vulnerables. Millones de niños viven en países inmersos en el conflicto armado y han sido víctimas de migración forzosa, desintegración familiar y testigos de eventos traumáticos. El objetivo de esta revisión fue evaluar la calidad y eficacia de los tratamientos psicológicos dirigidos a niños y adolescentes víctimas de conflicto armado. Se analizó la literatura existente desde enero de 2009 hasta diciembre de 2019 mediante una búsqueda sistemática en las bases de datos Cochrane, Scopus, WoS, ProQuest, Pubmed, Sciencedirect y PsycINFO. Se destaca un interés creciente de la investigación científica por la intervención psicológica en contextos de crisis humanitarias. Existen ensayos clínicos de calidad con la inclusión de muestras representativas, evaluaciones de seguimiento y tratamientos que incluyen la familia del niño como eje de posibles cambios positivos a nivel cognitivo, emocional y comportamental.
