Sandplay – Silent Workshop of the Psyche

Authors: Kay Bradway and Barbara McCoard

Sandplay – Silent Workshop of the Psyche provides an introduction to sandplay as well as extensive material for those already using this form of therapy. It includes in-depth discussion of sandplay processes with material from a wide range of clients, both children and adults.

Cases are documented with over 90 illustrations, 24 in full color. There is an examination of symbols the authors have researched and collected in their work and a discussion of the use of symbolic concepts in sandplay. The book provides an historical background for understanding sandplay.
