"From the opening poem, this book is an invitation into the mysteries of making healing worlds in the sand. Linda Homeyer and Marshall Lyles blend meticulous research about the efficacy and process of sandtray therapy with a poetic love affair with sand and miniatures, clients, and clinicians. Embracing therapists from many theoretical orientations who support a beautiful diversity of people, the authors provide solid ground for the advanced practice of this sacred healing art." - Bonnie Badenoch, PhD, LMFT, cofounder of Nurturing the Heart with the Brain in Mind and author of The Heart of Trauma.
"This is a book that fills a huge gap regarding the deeper practice of sand therapy. Reading it I thought of three symbols: 1) A star for illumination of what is not visible; 2) an anchor, for grounding in theory and history; and 3) a compass, for a reliable guide to knowing where we are and finding our way when uncertain or lost. Linda Homeyer and Marshall Lyles are a great team and I applaud this wonderful contribution to our growth using this approach we love so dearly." - Eliana Gil, PhD, LMFT, RPT-S, ATR, founder of The Gil Institute for Trauma Recovery and Education, LLC.
"Homeyer and Lyles talk about 'digging deeper' into the world of sandtray therapy and definitely deliver on that promise. In the sandtray therapy world, which is diverse in thought and application-and, sometimes not as theoretically and technically deep as need be-this is a refreshing addition. This book is a welcome companion to Homeyer and Sweeney's text and deserves to be on the shelves of both practitioners and educators." - Daniel Sweeney, PhD, professor and director of the NW Center for Play Therapy Studies at George Fox University and coauthor of Sandtray Therapy: A Practical Manual.
