Jansen, Diana. Beauty and the Beast: The Healing Process of a Woman Involving a Reconciliation of the Conflict of Opposites
Newcastle, United Kingdom

Volume 17, Number 1, 2008

Keywords: Therapeutic relationship, transformation, transcendent function, mid-life.

Abstract: The In this article the author shows how, in a rather brief sandplay process, a significant transformation can occur when an unconscious process is activated within the free and protected space of the sandtray and the containment of the therapeutic relationship. A woman in mid-life re-enacts in the sand the drama of the Beauty and the Beast story. Through her confrontation with the terrifying inner Beast and the constellation of the transcendent function, she experiences a resolution of to both her inner and outer conflict.
