Purchase options and add-ons

Comprehensive in nature, this book provides the foundation for both novice and experienced professionals to perform sandplay therapy effectively with adults, children, and couples.

Sandplay utilizes a small tray of wet or dry sand, in which clients create scenes using miniature objects--a nonverbal communication of their internal and external worlds. For therapists interested in exploring the ways that sandplay facilitates growth and healing and in expanding their reservoir of therapeutic tools by incorporating sandplay into their practices, this practical handbook will be an invaluable resource.

After presenting the history and benefits of sandplay, the authors describe how to create a sandplay therapy room, including choosing sand containers, finding evocative objects, and displaying objects appropriately. They provide detailed, step-by-step instructions on how to conduct spontaneous and directed sandplay therapy sessions with individuals, couples, children, and families.

Various ways of recording the creation of a sand world are described, so that both the process and the product will be saved even after the sand tray is dismantled.Not only does the book establish the foundation for incorporating sandplay into the reader's current psychotherapeutic practice, but it will also stimulate the creative process of the professional. Like the client who sees internal and interpersonal dynamics and dilemmas pictured in the sand, the therapist will find that this powerful experiential tool reveals insights, information, and avenues to explore.

The authors illustrate the process with numerous sandplay experiences with clients. They also discuss clients for whom sandplay is contraindicated and some problems that might arise. To encourage the growth of the therapist, they include instructions on personal sandplay work.

    Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

    Nonfiction written under E. Anna Goodwin and fiction written under Ana Parker Goodwin. Anna Goodwin is a psychotherapist, assistant professor, and lecturer turned writer at the end of her career. She received her M.S. from the University of Maryland in 1980, majoring in child and adolescent psychology.

    Anna was raised on a farm near Winnipeg, Manitoba and spent her first eight grades in a country school with about 20 other children. After receiving her nursing degree, she married Ron, an Insect Pathologist, who worked for the USDA. They have lived in Australia, California, Maryland, and Montana, and after retirement,in Idaho. Her travels have taken her around the world to many countries.

    In her private practice she specialized in working with people who had Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, many of them clients who had been physically and/or sexually abused, accident victims, or veterans.

    Anna has co-authored a professional book on Sandplay Therapy which was published in 2000 by W.W. Norton and later translated into Chinese. It is still selling well internationally.

    At present she is writing "Can't put down" psychological murder thrillers. "Justice Forbidden" is the first in a series with Dr, Faythe Bradington as a Clinical Psychologist from Boulder Colorado and L.P. Sanborn, as a detective with psychic powers. Faythe is caught in a multimillion dollar lawsuit for implanting false memories of abuse. She is sure her ex-client is lying. But why? That morning she finds a dead body in her office.

    So what are the facts about memory? Are there false memories? Can memories be repressed and then remembered years later?

    Anna is writing the sequel at present.

An excellent book to add to your library when beginning your own sandtray therapy. I found it helpful to use in my school building in my role as counselor. It can be very useful to get children to talk when they can't - or are reluctant to - express themselves in words.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Brilliant Comprehensive Manual For Sandplay Therapists from different Modalities
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 20, 2020
Verified Purchase
I am a registered therapist and a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) I purchased this manual as I have a passion for any therapeutic technique that enables my clients to make the most of their individual therapy sessions. I work with Adults and people who present with a wide range of issues. I have an interest in the Expressive Arts Movement and how these modalities can support the Counselling relationship as well as the ongoing therapeutic process. After reading Bessel Von De Kolk’s the Body Keeps The Score this text opened my mind to what Trauma can do to the body. I became interested in Sandtray or Sandplay technique as this enables clients across the spectrum to use a modality which enables and encourages the Logical and Emotional sides of the brain to work together by the therapist providing a Sandtray and Miniatures for the clients to represent what is happening in their conscience and unconscious emotional worlds. This technique encourages both clients and therapists to become with a clients consent co explorers of the scene in the Sandtray this enables the client to look at areas of concern and or trauma by representing the difficulties in scenes that they can alter and change and bring about a resolution or hidden insight which was previously to painful to access using just traditional Counselling techniques.

Sandplay Therapy is a absolutely brilliant and comprehensive manual for therapists counsellors or psychotherapists or any professionals or trainees wanting to know more about the technique it’s application and how to begin to set up your own Sandplay space to support your existing counselling Practice. The authors advise and encourage those interested in Sandplay to do their own Sandplay trays with a professional so you can gain practical and personal experiences of how this technique works. The authors give examples of how they approach issues and give forms used for documentation of the Sandplay Therapy process. Initially I thought this was an expensive book however upon beginning to read it I realise it’s well worth the £29.00 and would highly recommend this to anyone interested in learning more about Sandplay and how to begin to incorporate it into your everyday practice as a therapist or those interested in finding different ways to open up communication with whatever group of clients you may be working or relating to. Congratulations to the authors on such an informative easy digestible text and guidance on how to use and apply it
