The recent San Diego Reader just ran this excellent piece on Sandtray Therapy.
Sandtray is a well-known and effective style of therapy that is widely used with children, as a non-verbal, imaginative and powerful form of meaningful communication. It is expressive play therapy at its best.
Sandtray is equally effective with persons who have suffered a severe trauma (or multiple traumas) - individuals should seek out treatment from therapists highly trained and experienced in Sandtray. It is a rewarding process and I highly recommend it.
