Product Description
Product Description
Sandplay: A Sourcebook for Play Therapists demonstrates the way transformation happens. Like the body, the psyche is designed to be self-healing. Its contents can be restructured. If a clinician wanted to better understand a childs use of a snake in sand tray therapy how many resources are there? Where does one go? To date there has been no single text that aids in understanding the symbolism children use in play. This is just such a book.Sandplay is practical. The clinician can easily find information using The Dictionary of Play Imagery, or the extensive Subject Index. The text is interwoven with ample references to crucial clinical findings. Case studies clearly illustrate each point. This book will find a permanent place in therapists' libraries.

Excellent Choice for Classroom Text!
5 Nov 2001
I have just read the final copy of this book. I have read earlier versions of this manuscript and I am so grateful for Susan's perseverence in getting it published. I have already changed some aspects of my play therapy room based on reading the chapter entitled 'The Ideal Playroom.' I was inspired by this chapter to make several changes in my office. I also enjoyed reading the case material in the book and feel energized and inspired by Susan's sandplay work with children. In addition, I have already utilized the section entitled 'Dictionary of Play Therapy Imagery.' I found this section extremely practical. I have decided to use Susan's book as a text in the play therapy class that I teach because it is so readable, unique, and practical. Thank you Susan for your book!

Changing and Growing through SANDPLAY
12 Nov 2001
I am a licensed clinical social worker with a teen drug and alcohol residential program. Here is a source book on symbolism and a guide to another language that these children, and the child in all of us, can use to work through the pain of childhood traumas.
SANDPLAY is a bridge over the shame or self-conciousness of art therapy. I believe it will be productive for clients searching for a deeper meaning to their life, other than drug or alcohol use. I know their struggle demands change and growth. I know they are kinesthetic learners open to symbolism and eager to be relieved of burdens as well as to define order to their lives.

I am using this book as a guide first to an understanding my own metaphors by developing a sand tray for myself. I have been yearning to do this for years. Now, here is a practical and positive guide. I think it will enrich me and also my clients. Thanks, Susan McNally.

An excellant guide for understanding child's play
17 Feb 2004
I am a School Psychologist and although I have used play with children, I am new to using sandplay. Susan's book explores the history of play therapy, Jungian archetypes and their relevance to making head way with children using sandplay. The thought provoking session descriptions along with the actual pictures really helped guide me to understand the symbolism suggested by the author. Susan's expertise and experience are evident in her confident analysis, yet written clearly so that even a beginner can follow the analysis. I highly recommend this book.
