Sand, Water, Silence: The Embodiment of Spirit: Explorations in Matter and Psyche

by Mary Jane Markell

Sandplay therapy, which combines the physical actions of play with observation and understanding through the use of imagination and symbolism, can be useful in treating clients who have suffered severe wounds or obstacles to emotional growth. This book focuses on theoretical aspects of sandplay therapy, building on Dora Kalff's ideas on the integration of Eastern and Western thought in relation to healing through sandplay.
