Nine Windows to Wholeness: Exploring Numbers in Sandplay Therapy

Nine Windows to Wholeness creates a "map" of number archetypes as the journey of consciousness. The archetypes reflect the collective unconscious which brings together diverse fields of architecture, the sciences, religion, and mythology as they appear in therapy. The reader is provided with a new reference by which to explore his or her own dreams, creativity, emotions, and everyday life.

Pratibha S. Eastwood, Ph.D., STA/ISST, is a licensed psychologist from the University of California, Berkeley, a certified sandplay therapist and teacher based in Hawaii since 1979. Her unique multidisciplinary approach, which includes a variety of spiritual disciplines, enriches her perspective as a therapist. Dr. Eastwood has a consistent reputation of being on the leading edge of her profession.

From her extensive global work and travel Dr. Eastwood has identified the number archetypes that repeatedly surface throughout the diverse communities and cultures. In recent years, Dr. Eastwood, adept in the study of numbers, has integrated her understanding of numbers into her Jungian work and sandplay therapy. She conducts numerous workshops and seminars, has developed a software program on numbers, and is published in the anthology, In the Hands of Creation, by Nehama Baum and Brenda Weinberg, and in the Journal of Sandplay Therapy.
