ABSTRACT

Because of the nonverbal, symbolic experience of expressing spontaneous internal images in the sand, we have been profoundly affected by the depths of the psyche and that has generated a greater understanding and influence in both our personal as well as our professional lives. We believe sandplay deepens and accelerates the therapeutic endeavor. As the mind and body interact in the sand, the imagination is stimulated, and creativity is evoked. We have been moved to share with you some of the most important elements of what we have learned during our four decades of sandplay journeys. We hope this book will contribute to your sandplay journey.
