Sandplay is a nonverbal therapeutic process developed by Dora Kalff, a psychologist and close collaborator of C.G. Jung.

This course explores the practicalities of sandplay therapy as a treatment modality and demonstrates how it is used with children and adults. The historical development of this international technique in addition to its theoretical foundations and research documentation will also be included.
