Why does the word sandplay have “play” in it? Is it only for kids?
Sandplay therapy is effective with adults as well as children. Sandplay was initially coined by Dora Kalff, the founder, from the German word “sandspiel.” Children and adults work in the sand to create places and worlds that express their inner conflicts and tensions and find perspective on their issues.
What is the purpose of the miniature figures in sandplay?
Figures and objects from culture and nature symbolize events and situations in our inner and outer lives. We select and place objects and move the sand to create scenes expressing our most profound concerns.
