Capture
Join Dr. Lorri Yasenik from Rocky Mountain Play Therapy Institute (Canada) and the International Centre for Children and Family Law (Australia) to explore the nuances of scenes in the sandtray in the play therapy context. During four 3-hour sessions on the Zoom Platform, participants will focus on 3 developmental age-spans (4-7, 8-11 and 12-18 year olds) and examine the differences in the ways in which thoughts, needs, concerns and stories are expressed in sand during play therapy sessions.
This 12-hour certificate program will also include the expression, interpretation and use of sandplay as one of the play therapy approaches to working with adults. Some participants may bring forward a case for selection and review based on one of the age bands. Additionally, participants will have an opportunity to personally work in the sand.
Learning Objectives
  • Assess the use of sandplay in play therapy with different age groups
  • Analyze and interpret the content in a sand scene during play therapy
  • Describe ways you may use sand with children across the age span in play therapy
  • Describe and demonstrate “use of self” in sandplay during play therapy
  • Compare in-room sandplay work to on-line sandplay as part of your play therapy practice
