Combining the fields of child psychology and child education, this
groundbreaking work explores how engaging children in Jungian
sandplay therapy and imaginative storytelling can improve classroom
performance and to increase intelligence scores. Written by child
specialists, it makes a solid argument for the necessary
consideration of the unconscious and the inner world of the
individual child in learning and advocates that curriculum design
for children must include both imaginative therapeutic play and
active attention to children's emotional needs. Educators,
psychotherapists, and concerned parents alike will find this book
informative and useful.
This is a manual for training teachers in the Sandtray Play in
Education method. It introduces a holistic approach to childhood
education that returns the child's natural medium of creative play
to the learning environment. Sadly, most approaches to contemporary
childhood education are not successful in teaching children the
riches of language and numbers and the capacities to think, inquire
and create. We are failing our children by not designing
educational curricula that is appropriate to the learning styles of
children. Sandtray Play in Education is the culmination of the
collaboration of learning specialist Kristín Unnsteinsdóttir and
Barbara Turner, Sandplay psychotherapist, who have worked together
to develop a tool that draws on the child`s inner world to support
and inform his or her learning and growth in the school setting.
Together they have created a way that a well-trained counsellor or
learning specialist in Sandtray Play in Education can work
individually with a small group of students, side-by-side, each
giving birth to the fruits of imagination and creative play as the
fashion their own “worlds” in the trays. Using the same
miniature figures and tray of sand used in the Jungian Sandplay
method, Sandtray Play is not a psychotherapeutic modality, rather
it is a creative play tool adapted to provide school children with
an engrossing, self-directed, imaginative activity.
Now considered a classic in the field, The Handbook of Sandplay
Therapy is the core classic training manual and reference source in
Jungian Sandplay therapy. It remains the most-read book in the
field. The book comprehensively explains and illustrates the
theory, process and procedures of Jungian Sandplay therapy.
Developed as an in-depth text and reference work, The Handbook
examines Sandplay from psychological, mythological and
neurobiological paradigms in order to cultivate understanding of
how Sandplay brings about change in child and adult patients.
Throughout the book the author maintains a profound respect for the
individual development of the therapist and the qualitative impact
of the clinical relationship on the healing and transformational
aspects of Sandplay therapy. Thorough in content and richly
illustrated, The Handbook of Sandplay Therapy is a valuable
resource for both experienced clinicians and those new to the
field. Clear and detailed, The Handbook of Sandplay Therapy, is a
must read for all clinicians interested in Sandplay work.
Sandplay therapy is based on the psychology of Carl Jung and
developed by the Swiss psychotherapist and teacher Dora Kalff. By
placing miniature figurines in a small sandbox to express confusing
feelings and inner experiences, patients create a visual
representation of their psyches' contents and reveal unconscious
concerns that are inaccessible any other way. In this beautiful,
full-color volume, sandplay therapist, Barbara Turner has recorded
Dora Kalff's teachings, transcribed from the shorthand notes she
made during the original lectures. The sand trays are replications
Dr. Turner constructed from the sketches she drew of the photos and
the verbal descriptions Mrs. Kalff gave during her lectures. These
are treasures in the history of sandplay, and this book makes them
available to those who did not have the opportunity to study
directly with this remarkable teacher.
