Advanced Sandtray Therapy: Digging Deeper into Clinical Practice

Advanced Sandtray Therapy deepens mental health professionals’ abilities to understand and apply sandtray therapy.

Chapters show readers how to integrate clinical theory with sand work, resulting in more focused therapeutic work. Using practical basics as building blocks, the book takes a more detailed look at the ins and outs of work with attachment and trauma, showing therapists how to work through the sequence of treatment while also taking into account clients’ trauma experiences and attachment issues.

This text is a vital guide for any clinician interested in adding sandtray therapy to their existing work with clients as well as students in graduate programs for the mental health professions.
