Jungian Psychology and Sandplay Therapy
Harriet Friedman

WHAT IS SANDPLAY THERAPY?

Harriet S. Friedman, M.A., M.F.T., J.A.

“Often the hands know how to solve a riddle with which the intellect has wrestled in vain.”
C.G. Jung

Sandplay is hands-on psychological work. It is a powerful therapeutic technique that facilitates the psyche’s natural capacity for healing. In a “free and protected” space provided by the analyst, a client creates a concrete manifestation of his or her imaginal world using sand, water, and miniature objects. In this way sandplay helps honor and illuminate the client’s internal symbolic world and provides a place for its expression within a safe container, the tray filled with sand. Sandplay is done adjunctively to talk therapy during the process of the therapeutic work.
