Many people think that sandplay is mainly for children, and it is true that sandplay is wonderful for healing children’s trauma. However, sandplay can be deeply healing for adults and the traumatized child within as well because it reaches preverbal areas of the psyche. Working with adults requires a somewhat different skill set. In this one-day training, we will look at some of the special issues involved in working with adult populations.
Educational Goals: Learn what it is like for adults to use sandplay therapy, discover different methods of inviting adults into sand work, and review the presenting problems that adults may resolve through work in the sand.
Learning Objectives: By the end of this weekend course, students will be able to
- Describe two differences inherent in sandplay work with children vs. adults
- Discuss the importance of both relationship and symbol
- Explain how to invite adult clients to use the sand
- Discuss the concept of co-transference in sandplay
- Compare the overall process of healing in sandplay with the healing process in methods that are not depth-oriented
