Book Details

Reviews and Endorsements

The book is organized into eight sections covering eight of the most important topics in sandplay - Therapist, Silence, Child, Mother, Self, Shadow, Chaos, and Numinous. Each section begins with a trialogue discussing the theory, history and practice of sandplay in each area. The trialogues allow the reader to witness three senior therapists addressing and attempting to understand the many layers of each topic, and reflect their agreements and disagreements as they reveal their individual thoughts on, and personal experiences of, the themes they discuss. Each trialogue is followed by a solo presentation in which each author focuses on her contribution, and on the role of each topic in sandplay.

Illustrated by original clinical examples this unique approach addresses issues of concern to analysts and other psychotherapists. Its basic orientation makes is of particular value in the study, practice and teaching of sandplay therapy
