Dora Kalff, a Swiss Jungian analyst, developed Jungian-based sandplay therapy. She embraced Jung’s theory of psychology and the power of the unconscious in her practice. The sand tray acts as the container for the deep wisdom of the psyche, the concepts of presence, and the creation of a sacred space for healing. Jungian-based sandplay therapy uses trays filled with sand (dry, or damp) and a variety of miniatures that can be placed in the trays to create a three-dimensional scene or image. Through allowing this simple act of imagination and creation, the trays provide a means of expressing and processing experiences and feelings that bypass the thinking, analytical brain and access the unconscious. This can bring to light what is not otherwise visible. According to Jung, symbol is the language of the psyche. By providing a safe opportunity for the psyche to express itself through symbol, healing can come, not from the interpretation of the “completed” image, but in the expression of the image itself. The sandplay therapist is the witness that holds the protected space in which this sacred and often numinous process can transpire.
