Images of the Self: The Sandplay Therapy Process (The Sandplay Classics series)

Rating:
Summary: Outsdanding!
Review: Within the context of the study of sandplay therapy IMAGES OF THE SELF is a classic and in my opinion a must for any psychotherapist who owns a sand tray. It is a text that will interest and inform both the beginner and the experienced psychotherapist. Weinrib is masterful in describing this non-verbal modality. Her skill along with lots of photos of patients' sandplays afford the reader an in-depth understanding of sandplay therapy. In Part One of the book the author describes sandplay and its analytic underpinnings. Some chapter titles included are: A Free and Protected Space, A Comparison of Verbal Analysis and Sandplay, Resistance and A Safe Outlet for Aggression. Part Two consists of a riveting case presentation of a man in his twenties. Sandplay photos found on nearly every other page make the case presentation flow smoothly. IMAGES OF THE SELF is excellent!
