Sandplay in work

In working with Sand therapy is important to consider several points.
First, the timeline in the psyche. It is divided on the sensations in:

• Past: Zone obsolete, the zone of regret, remorse zone.

• Present: the rise, plateau, slope;

• Future: near (the zone of expectations and activities), medium (up to 5 years, hope), remote (up to 15 years, the zone of "prayer").

In the depressed state plan to several months in advance.

Secondly, the size of the sandbox. At present, there are two parameter dimensions: European and American. Height = 7cm, width = 49.5 cm, length = 72,5 cm (Kalf, the European model) and height = 7cm, width = 52cm, length = 75cm (Levinfeyt, the American model).
Dimensions sandbox for a long time had been studied experimentally, it was proved that a certain angle helps to speed up the process of therapy.

Thirdly, the scheme (map) sandbox. It is divided into 9 squares (in the form of a matrix), where the top number - of fantasy, middle - the emotions, and the bottom - action. Accordingly, the left column - the past, the average - now, right - the future. Central square - the central problem of the client.

In the process of therapy can observe the dynamics of the client's problems in a clockwise direction. More important to consider the angles in the sandbox: Left - Women's, Right - male.

And also keep in mind: to not built on sand client, always thinking about someone sent to the object (figure), and for whom the client does.
