5.0 out of 5 stars Outsdanding!, September 18, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Images of the Self: The Sandplay Therapy Process (Paperback)

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!

4.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT PRACTICAL GUIDE, October 22, 2007

This review is from: Images of the Self: The Sandplay Therapy Process (The Sandplay Classics series) (Paperback)

I really liked this book because it is extremely practical, but also reflects some key Jungian and allied theory. It is a quick read and provides an excellent orientation to the field of sandplay therapy for anyone to get out of the starting blocks in this field. It contains some of the seminal thought on sandplay and is highly accessible in terms of terminology, also for the lay person. I would suggest that persons keen to obtain this book also get Barbara Turner's handbook on sandplay therapy, which expands on some of the key concepts and processes Kay U. Brugge, D.Phil.
