Mandalas in Sandplay: A Cultural Perspective-ONLINE CLASS-Pacific Daylight Time
April 26, 2020 @ 1:00 pm - 4:30 pm
Prepaid Cost: $30.00 – $45.00Event Navigation
Jill Kaplan, M.A., M.F.T.
This online, interactive seminar will focus on the mandala which appears in many cultures as a unifying, symbolic image. Similarly, in sandplay we may see it arise when a patient is struggling to contain or find a relationship to opposites or opposing emotional experiences. Drawing from Jung’s concept of the transcendent function, we will see from a case example how the symbolic aspect of sandplay therapy can help to facilitate a transition from a more rigid psychological attitude towards the development of a more flexible and resilient ego. Participants will have the opportunity to create images of the Self as a means of integrating and applying these concepts to clinical material.
Learning objectives:
- Give an example of how the tension of the opposites can be seen in sandplay clinical material;
- Describe what is meant by the transcendent function and its role in psychological change;
- Describe the cross-cultural significance of the mandala symbol from a psychological perspective;
- Describe the technique of Sandplay therapy and its application to psychotherapy.
