Sandplay Therapy

Sandplay is an effective tool that enables a client to illustrate an inner psychic state, often non-verbally. The psychic conflict becomes clear and is ultimately open to intervention and resolution. Sandplay is effective with children and adults as well as with couples, groups and families.


 

TRAINING, WORKSHOPS, SUPERVISION

Sandplay workshops are offered once a month.  Introductory workshops cover such areas as developmental issues in Sandplay from birth through adulthood, family systems in Sandplay, types of populations served, etc.  Lectures and case presentations comprise the morning sections; supervision of participant’s cases and an opportunity to do a personal sand picture are included in the afternoon sections. The advanced workshops focus on deepening an understanding of Sandplay through intensive study of’ archetypes, mythology and symbols with supervision and experiential components.
