ABSTRACT
Processing the scene in the sandtray can be an intensively powerful experience for both the client and the clinician. The clinician may have insights into the world of the client, based both on previous interaction with the client and from the content of the scene in the sandtray. Meanings or interpretations of the miniatures and formations in the sandtray can be amazingly similar, regardless of the client’s issues or age. While this tends to intrigue even the most “non-Jungian” of us, we would again caution against excessive interpretation. John Allan (1988) wisely advises: “The crux of Sandplay is not that it must be interpreted but that it must be witnessed respectfully” (p. 221).
