HAVE YOU BEEN PLAYING IN THE SANDBOX RECENTLY?

This two part workshop will introduce the use of sand tray and sand play miniatures as an integrated part of the therapy process with adults. Appealing to the right brain, sand therapy brings to the room an indescribable essence of associations and affect, while deepening the therapist-patient relationship. Participants will be invited to experience the flavor of Sand Play and to engage in hands-on individual and group exercise by choosing miniatures from the collection provided by the presenter and, eventually, placing and removing them in/from the sand box. The exercise will be followed by a discussion.  A Power Point presentation with theoretical background and history of Sand Play therapy as well as multiple visual aids in a form of photographs of sand trays created by various adult patients in the last six years will be shown. Part II of this workshop will include a case presentation of an adult patient’s treatment with rich use of Sand Play Therapy. The use of Sand Play with couples and families will also be addressed and followed by a discussion.
