Topic: Sandtray-Worldplay: Deepening our Work with Children and Families
Presenters: Lindsay P. South, LPC, LLP, RPT-S; Kelly L. Thomas, LMSW, CAADC; and Shana Bombrys, LMSW, CADC, ADS
Workshop Description: In her recent article on the “Use of Toys in Child-Centered Play Therapy,” Dee Ray (2013) found that the sand box and sand tools were the most frequently selected items by children in a play therapy room. How can you effectively facilitate a child’s experience in the sand? Come learn what is unique about working in the sand tray with children and their families. Refine your play therapy skills using Sandtray Worldplay, a technique developed by Gisela Schubach DeDomenico, Ph.D., RPT-S. Participants will practice experiential interventions, with an emphasis on deepening techniques as a sandtray facilitator/witness. All will complete a family sandtray building activity for RPT CEUs. Completion of an introductory level workshop in sand tray therapy is a prerequisite for this class.
