In this book, Fleet provides the first comprehensive guide to implementing sand-tray therapy within a pluralistic framework.
Pluralistic Sand-Tray Therapy offers several unique contributions to a theoretical understanding of the therapeutic process, including the dynamic phenomenological field incorporating the concept of phenomenological shift and the introduction to two sand-tray specific mechanisms that aid the therapeutic process by facilitating the client's discovery in a unique way. Theory is applied to practice with step-by-step detailed guidance on how to deliver effective pluralistic sand-tray therapy from the initial appointment to the end of therapy. Each theoretical concept and practical direction is supported by case study findings, including photographs taken during real sessions.
This book will be an essential text for academics and students of psychotherapy and counselling seeking to understand the impact and implementation of sand-tray therapy. It also offers a complete guide for practicing counsellors and psychotherapists, including arts and play therapists, who wish to use sand-tray therapy in their work.
