Supervision of Sandplay Therapy

Supervision of Sandplay Therapy, the first book on this subject, is an internationally-based volume that describes the state of the art in supervision of sandplay therapy. Recognizing that practitioners are eager to incorporate sandplay therapy into their practice, Harriet Friedman and Rie Rogers Mitchell respond to the need for new information, and successfully translate the theories of sandplay therapy into supervision practice.

The book provides a meaningful connection and balance between theoretical principles, practical application, and ongoing therapeutic encounter involved in sandplay. Divided into six sections, contributors cover:

• original supervision models
• contemporary supervision models
• special challenges in supervision
• international sandplay supervision
• supervision of special groups
• connections with other arts therapies.

Supervision of Sandplay Therapy expands the vision of what is possible in supervision and will be vital reading for those studying supervision and sandplay therapy, as well as for those wanting to provide a depth-oriented approach during supervision.

Harriet S. Friedman, Jungian analyst, is a founding member of Sandplay Therapists of America, and former board member of the International Society of Sandplay Therapists. She co-authored (with Rie) Sandplay: Past, Present and Future (Routledge, 1994).

Rie Rogers Mitchell is professor of educational psychology and counseling at California State University, Northridge. She is a certified sandplay therapist and teacher, vice president of the International Society of Sandplay Therapy, and co-president of Sandplay Therapists of America.
