Integrative Sandplay Seminars
 

Learning Objectives and Goals

General Information
This seminar is conducted at a post-doctoral level. It is intended for clinicians with a foundational and introductory understanding of sandplay therapy, and who use the Jungian sandplay method in the clinical setting. This seminar uses the participant’s clinical casework as the basis for study. All aspects of client anonymity and confidentiality are strictly observed in this seminar. This seminar is held once a month for nine months. 2 hour and 3 hour options available.

Learning Objectives

  1. To develop in-depth understanding of the healing and transformational processes in sandplay therapy.
  2. To distinguish clearly between processes of psychological healing and transformation.
  3. To develop awareness of thematic symbolic configurations in sandplay therapy process.
  4. To develop understanding of the psychological import of thematic symbolic content in sandplay.
  5. To develop understanding of the significance of the first sandplay in a series in terms of clinical assessment and prognosis, and direction of the sandplay process.
  6. To develop understanding of the critical role of the clinician in the sandplay process in light of recent neurobiological research and quantum mechanics.

Learning Goals

After taking this seminar the participant will be able to:

  1. To articulate how psychological healing and transformation take place in the Jungian sandplay process.
  2. To be able to describe the differences in psychological and sandplay processes that focus on healing or transformation, using Jungian personality theory and symbolic constructions.
  3. To identify the psychological processes entailed in the thematic symbolic constructions witnessed in the sandplay process.
  4. To be able to articulate how symbolic themes such as myth, archetype, fairy tale, and folklore legend are related to the psychological processes of healing and transformation in the clinical setting.
  5. To identify and articulate how the constructions and content of the patient’s first sand tray pertain to clinical assessment and prognosis. Using Jungian personality theory, to be able to articulate the nature of the psychological work the patient’s sandplay work will undertake, and the strengths the patient will utilize to undergo this work in the symbolic context.
  6. To recognize indications of early developmental wounding in the sandplay construction and content. In neurobiological terms, to be able to articulate the clinical significance of this wounding on the patient’s psychological development and diagnosis. To articulate the psychologist’s role in the patient’s therapeutic transformation in the sandplay process, using concepts of quantum mechanics and interactive fields.
