Jungian Sandplay Therapy

“Often the hands will solve a mystery that the intellect has struggled with in vain.”  – Carl Jung

Origins of Jungian Sandplay Therapy

Jungian sandplay therapy was developed by Dora Kalff in Switzerland after she studied at the C.G. Jung Institute,  Zurich in the 1950s and 1960s and with Margaret Lowenfeld in England.   It is a therapeutic modality that is effective with adults as well as children.  The essential part of the sandplay process according to Dora Kalff was the creation of “the free and protected space.”

Approach 

Jungian sandplay is a non-verbal expressive modality of therapy that uses miniature figures, water and sand in a contained space.

Allowing the unconscious to work, sandplay encourages the spontaneous and dynamic expression of our psyche.   It is very creative and allows access to the deeper level of the unconscious towards our natural process towards healing and wholeness.  Sandplay  therapy is a powerful form of therapy when done along side of Jungian analysis.
