ABSTRACT
In the group, the people gradually examined what they felt, they relived and enacted what Martin Kalff’s Zollikon was giving shape to through his hang-ups, inertia, silence, but also his great energy and vitality. The trauma, which couldn’t find a verbal outlet, found expression through Sandplay scenes and – through them – an emotive resonance in the therapist who would listen, observe, and accept while taking part in the Sandplay work. The volcano is a representation of strong energy, it is something explosive, it erupts and ejects, it is fire and Eros. Perhaps the stationary cars, which will often be found in his sand scenes, act as a defensive and obsessive ritual, the symbol of a trauma which occurred in the earliest years of his life. In the sand, there are two horses with two riders wading across the river; a one of the man is riding a horse and the other is mounting.
