ABSTRACT
This chapter offers examples of structured pluralistic sand-tray therapy when the client asks for guidance when beginning the session. Session examples include Life Space, Overall Picture, Looking Back at Happier Times, Eight Emotions, Relationship Dynamics and Associated Emotions, My Givers and Takers, and Speaking the Unspoken/Unfinished Business. The type of structured session will depend on the client’s presenting issue, their goals established in the initial appointment, and what they would like to focus on in a particular session. The choice will also be a collaborative decision made between the client and the therapist.
For each structured session, there is guidance on how to manage and facilitate the client’s exploration.
