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.
