This book suggests that it is not training that teachers need to introduce sandtray play into their repertoire of classroom tools but a 'conscious attitude of receptivity to the child'. The author uses psychological insights to outline how sandplay can build academic, social and emotional skills in a wide range of settings, and how it can also be a profoundly therapeutic process.
Chapters outline particular workshops linked to building, telling, listening and writing, and approach each subject from a theoretical and practical viewpoint.
