On Becoming a Jungian Sandplay Therapist discusses the deep inner process of becoming a sandplay therapist and addresses important creative aspects of understanding and practising sandplay. It describes the current theory behind the approach and the roles of the therapist and the client, as well as exploring the healing potential of nature and the numinous in art and sandplay. It provides a detailed case study outlining the ten year sandplay process of a Moroccan-born woman, whose fear was transformed by creativity and emotional support. Later chapters look at symbols as containers of power, and discuss the use of individual sandplay in group sessions.Offering a unique creative and spiritual perspective of Jungian sandplay, this book will be an insightful resource for both novice and experienced sandplay therapists, as well as other therapists interested in sandplay training.

'Lenore Steinhardt's work with sandplay is beautifully displayed in this book, which is not only important from a technical point of view, but also makes it easy to enter into contact with the symbolic world. All of the roots of Jungian analysis are integrated into her sandplay work, in addition to her natural insight. Her Jungian understanding is incorporated in the freedom of her approach to the patient's problem, which enables a kind of ''magical'' attitude that may remind the reader of shamanic behaviour.'- Dr.Milvia Talamini, IAAP Jungian analyst and ISST sandplay teacher, Milan, Italy
