ABSTRACT
Step-by-step guidance is provided on how to deliver pluralistic sand-tray therapy. Instruction incorporates detailed information on planning and managing the initial appointment, the first therapy session, continuing sessions, and the end session.
The discussion focusing on the first session covers a creative strategy that can be used in the case formulation stage, goal setting, establishing methods and tasks related to the client’s needs, clinical assessment including outcome measures, and how to collect various forms of feedback. Specific examples are given, including excerpts from case studies that contribute to a clear picture of the therapeutic process, aiming to help the therapist deliver pluralistic sand-tray therapy. Furthermore, the collaboration between therapist and client is emphasized throughout, a critical factor in the pluralistic approach.
