Synopsis

Scott Riviere

There are many books that have been written on the theoretical foundation and process of utilizing sand trays in the healing process. However, many of these books are deep in their metaphorical understanding of the objects chosen as well as overall design of the tray.

The novice therapist may seem reluctant to utilize this technique due to the complexity of the information. However, the sand tray can be helpful to many children when used as a tool to help them explore and express feelings, develop insight into personal and family issues, and get safety needs met in a safe and non-threatening manner.

This presentation will cover several techniques for using the sand tray as a tool to help children process events in their lives and develop effective coping mechanisms. We will review important figurines to have in your collection as well as basic instructions to provide the child. Alternative techniques will be presented that a clinician of any skill level can implement IMMEDIATELY. The workshop will conclude with sample process questions to help clients explore their creation.
