The Israeli Sandplay Therapist Association
www.sandplay.co.il
The Israeli Sandplay therapist Association [ISTA] is a
non-profit organization that has existed since 1993, dedicated
to the establishment of a network of trained Sandplay
therapists, and to the development of Sandplay therapy as a
therapeutic technique to be available tor the professional
community of caregivers in Israel to add to their clinical tools
to provide clinical service to the populations of Israel.
ISTA was founded in 1993 by Ms. Rina Porat and Dr. Bert
Meltzer. The Israel Sandplay Therapist Association ISTA was
originally funded by a grant from the Rich-Doron Foundation to
develop of a network of Sandplay therapists to provide services
to special populations including children and adults in life
crisis (war traumas, life threatening illness’) and to children
and adults with “special needs” e.g. where verbal communication
may be difficult, limited, or unavailable.
ISTA members have developed service projects that have
extended the uses of sandplay to diverse needy populations
throughout this small country. Projects have included: sandplay
with special needs children: including physically, mentally, and
emotionally handicapped children; sandplay for children and
adolescents who have been physically and sexually abused; and
sandplay with mental hospital populations. Sandplay is also
being used with new immigrant populations in which language and
communication is an issue; and on the oncology ward of Hadassah
hospital, sandplay is an important part of the psychological
treatment of children with terminal illness. Sandplay has been
used as part of emergency response to victims of war and
terrorism: from the first Scud missile attack victims in the
“First Gulf War”, to the rocket attacks on the Northern borders
of Israel, to victims of the intifada violence and other recent
wars and terrorist events throughout the southern border areas
of the country in which populations were subject to rocket
attacks from Gaza.
Current outreach projects include 1) “the Sderot project” to
provide Sandplay services to the victims of missile attacks in
the town of Sderot which has suffered eight years of missile
attacks from the neighboring Gaza strip in which members of ISTA
and ISTA candidates are volunteering their time to provide
service in Sandplay therapy rooms created by donations from
Israeli and American sandplay therapists; and 2) the “Bedouin
project” a preliminary project to extend the target of ISTA
supported sandplay service and training to include the Arab
community in Israel (and hopefully eventually also the West
Bank) who are also victims of violence.
