“…Usually, paintings or other visual images are good means to move the psyche. Homeyer & Sweeney (2011) argued sandplay therapy also creates a bridge for meaningful interchanges to take place and that metaphorical expressions have a powerful energy. They explained that the sensory experience with the sand causes a loosening of the tongue.…”

A case study of sandplay therapy for a 6-year-old girl sharing family problems: 'psychological transformation' Seohee Park * This is a case study of sandplay therapy with a six-year-old girl with anxiety. It concerns her journey of overcoming emotional wounds and experiencing growth. We conducted 20 sessions with the client over 10 months from September 2018 to July 2019. We found that her unconscious processed family problems that nobody expressed in language. The client expressed this through symbolic play in her sand trays. Through the sandplay process, she started to overcome her psychological difficulties. We noted the link between the healing power of the unconscious and her psychological transformation. Thus, our study shows that even if only one child has sandplay therapy, it is possible to deal with family problems or members through it.

“…Miriam gradually regained her composure, and when she was able to listen, the author spoke with her about how this newfound emotional expression, although fatiguing, might eventually be very beneficial to her mental and physical health. He suggested that the medium of the sand tray might help Miriam further express the emotions of anger and guilt as related to her self-injurious eating disordered behavior, which she had just succeeded in distinctly identifying (Horneyer & Sweeney, 2005). Miriam was asked to use the many miniature figures available to her to portray in the sand various scenes that were related to the guilt and self-directed anger she harbored in relation to her ED.…”

This article describes the utilization of forgiveness therapy with a 26-year-old female recovering anorexic. She presents for treatment highly distressed over her commission of self-injurious behaviors and ensuing harm to her person. The process model is used to facilitate self-forgiveness. Emotion provides the main analytical context for the case study. The inability to manage negative affective states is seen as a significant factor contributing to the etiology of eating disorders (EDs). In the aftermath of eating disordered behaviors, negative feelings about the self may impede full recovery. In the therapeutic process described, it is the emotional changes attempted by the client that stand out as central in her eventual attainment of self-forgiveness. The implications of the case study for practitioners considering the use of forgiveness therapy with clients recovering from EDs, as well as the gamut of self-injurious behaviors, are considered. The important role of attachment processes in the utilization of this innovative therapeutic modality is underscored.
