Sandtray Play in Education

By Barbara A. Turner and Kristin Unnsteinsdottir

Sandtray Play in Education is a creative learning tool for use by school counselors, psychologists and special education teachers who have access to a private learning space. It is the culmination of the collaboration of a learning specialist, Krist?n Unnsteinsd?ttir, PhD, of Iceland and Barbara A. Turner, PhD, Sandplay psychotherapist, who have worked together to develop a method that draws on the child's inner world to support and inform his or her learning and growth in the school setting. Together they have created a way that well-trained practitioners in Sandtray Play in Education can work individually with a small group of students, working side by side, each giving birth to the fruits of imagination and creative play as they fashion their own "worlds" in the tray. While working in their own fields of specialty, both Kristin and Barbara share rich backgrounds in Jungian psychology and education. In the text they generously share their discoveries and insights. The text is informal and approachable, inviting practitioners to explore the possibilities and wonders of the important role of imaginative play in children's learning. Book jacket.
