WHAT CAN A JUNGIAN ANALYST LEARN FROM SANDPLAY?

Journal of Sandplay Therapy, Volume 11, Number 1, 2002

KEY WORDS: sandplay therapy, analyst, language, verbal, words, hands, Jung, Kalff, analysis, sandplay.

ABSTRACT: In this article I will try to place Sandplay in a cultural history between ancient shamanic healing rituals and modern psychoanalysis. The contact of hands with the sand may evoke early childhood experiences belonging not only to preverbal, but also to pre-symbolic layers of the psyche.
