The purpose of this book is to provide practitioners, advanced
graduate students and supervisors a model of sandtray processing
from a humanistic perspective. The DVD that accompanies this book
demonstrates a way to process a sandtray therapy session with a real
adult client. The session on the DVD is an actual sandtray therapy
session that is unedited. The primary focus of this book is on one
way to do sandtray therapy with adults and adolescents and on the
DVD I demonstrate how I do it.
If you are a practitioner/clinician or a graduate student in
counseling or a related field who is curious about sandtray, this
book will help you provide quality interventions with clients and
may stimulate interest in further training. If you are a supervisor
who wants to use sandtray with supervisees, I have included a
chapter that covers the use of sandtray in supervision. If you are a
play therapist who wants to know about sandtray, I believe this book
will interest you as well.

Therapy: A Humanistic Approach
"A wonderful addition to the field! Sandtray
therapy use is growing exponentially and Steve's new book will facilitate this
growth and add critical depth. Steve sets the sandtray therapy work in context
of theory and in content with the client. The DVD of an actual session and the
detailed comments in the text provide insight into how to do the processing.
Even more importantly, it provides the reader with a depth of understanding his
reasons for his work with the client. This is an invaluable view into the
purpose of the counselor while processing the session. Finally, each chapter has
an invitation to reflect upon what one has read - it drew me into deeper
self-awareness and self-discovery."

"Sandtray Therapy: A Humanistic Approach is
an exceptional presentation on the method of sandtray therapy from the
humanistic perspective. Dr. Armstrong provides insight regarding the therapist�s
use of self throughout the therapeutic sandtray process that is typically
overlooked in counseling publications. In addition to providing extensive
discussion on the function of processing to help therapists gain a better
understanding of their role, Dr. Armstrong provides the unique tool of sharing
an authentic client session where we are able to really see his concepts at
work. This book will help both novice and experienced therapists enhance their
skills in facilitating sandtray, as well as other expressive arts therapies,
with clients."

"Dr. Armstrong insightfully combines the core
conditions, with elements of play therapy and in-the-moment gestalt to transport
the reader to an advanced understanding and application of sandtray. The DVD is
a bold and inspiring revelation moving beyond words to demonstrate how
sandtray is done with a real client. In Sandtray Therapy: A Humanistic Approach,
Dr. Armstrong not only talks the talk but in the DVD walks the
walk."
