Sandtray: Playing to Heal, Recover, and Grow

Sandtray refers to psychotherapies that use sand, water, and miniatures in a tray of sand where clients create a three-dimensional world. This story-driven book is based in clinical practice and illustrated by 40 photographs and charts. Students, experienced play therapists, and psychotherapists alike will discover how to negotiate both verbal and nonverbal therapeutic interactions. A detailed framework for approaching Sandtray and play therapy is provided based on interpersonal neurobiology and Margaret Lowenfeld's play research.
