Wisdom of Oz – 2 day

Gita Dorothy Morena, PhD, LMFT, CST-T

Social Workers/Psychologists/MFCCs/Play Therapists CE Hours: 12

NBCC: 12 Clock Hours/1.2 CEUs

Day #1 Returning Home, Themes of Integration in Sandplay & Play Therapy:

 The Return phase of the hero’s journey is a critical time for reintegration into society. It resembles issues that arise and must be addressed at the completion of a therapeutic process. Many do not realize that Dorothy’s journey in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz continues in Baum’s 13 other Oz stories. In this workshop Dr. Morena presents an overview of the Oz saga, drawing insight from this quintessential fairy tale to examine the Return phase of the archetypal journey and apply this wisdom to the issues that arise in a therapeutic process. She shows how clinicians can recognize and deal with these issues both symbolically and clinically to facilitate their clients return and integration into daily life. Themes of return and ongoing integration are illustrated with sandplay and play therapy case material.

Day #2 Archetypal Imagery in Sandplay and Play Therapy:  

Drawing insight from L. Frank Baum’s quintessential American fairy tale, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Dr. Morena explores Dorothy’s journey into this magical land as a metaphor for Joseph Campbell’s hero’s Journey, Carl Jung’s individuation process and the honoring of feminine values. Dorothy and her companions are seen as symbolic aspects of the psyche that need to be identified, healed, and integrated into wholeness. Examples from sandplay and play therapy case material and opportunities for engaging with the story in a personal way are included to show how Oz imagery expresses issues that emerge during the journey home to wholeness.

Dimensions of Containment & Tales of Sand & Water – 2 day

Betty Jackson, LSW, CST-T

Social Workers/Psychologists/MFCCs/Play Therapists CE Hours: 12

NBCC: 12 Clock Hours/1.2 CEUs

Day #1 Dimensions of Containment – Symbolic Meaning of Sandtray in Play Therapy & Jungian Sandplay

This course offers an in-depth exploration of the theme of therapeutic containment in the practice of Play Therapy and Jungian Sandplay, examining how clinical issues of securing privacy, confidentiality, trust, emotional safety, and positive transference are visually and tangibly symbolized by the sandtray and the imagery clients create within it. It explores practical and symbolic aspects of the sandtray as a therapeutic container, examining the rationale for its shape, color, size, and function. The question of what it means when clients choose or decline work in the sandtray will be addressed. Visual imagery representing the securing, disruption, and repair of therapeutic containment will be explored.

Day #2 Tales of Sand & Water - Fundamental Elements in Play Therapy & Jungian Sandplay 

This course addresses the multi-facetted use of sand and water in the practice of play therapy and Jungian Sandplay, exploring their archetypal symbolism and examining how and why clients approach or avoid tactile engagement with these elements during therapy. The extent to which tactile engagement with the sand reflects the clients’ degree of ego stability and the extent to which inclusion of water mirrors the flow of emotion will be explored.  Particular attention will be given to the interplay between these two elements and how they help facilitate cathartic release of emotion within the safety of the therapeutic relationship. This course includes presentation of case material of clients who were able to access and work through trauma by engaging almost exclusively with sand and water, using few, if any miniatures in their respective Sandplay processes.

Understanding Symbolic Imagery in Sandtray Play Therapy & Jungian Sandplay

Betty Jackson, LSW, CST-T

Social Workers/Psychologists/MFCCs/Play Therapists CE Hours: 6

NBCC: 6 Clock Hours/0.6 CEUs

This workshop addresses how to understand symbolic imagery created by clients in Sandtray Play therapy and Jungian Sandplay. It will review the myriad aspects the therapist must pay attention to, including the choice of dry or wet sand, formations in the sand, miniature figure choices & placement, narrative, and sequential progression of themes, illustrating each aspect with case material.  A simple tracking form that can be used with both Sandtray Play Therapy and Jungian Sandplay will be demonstrated. 

Also discussed will be the various interpretive faculties the Sandtray Play therapist or Jungian Sandplay therapist must cultivate in order to understand symbolic imagery; cognition, intuition, affective response, and body response.  Issues related to interpretation will be explored, emphasizing the value of delayed or withheld interpretation in clinical practice.
