Using case material\, we will examine some of the ways in which to view progression (or lack of) within the context of Sandplay therapy. \n\nSome Considerations at the Initial Sessions with a Child\n\nSachiko Taki-Reece\, Ed.D.\, M.F.T.\nIn working with children\, it is critical that the therapist also establish a therapeutic    alliance with the parent and/or caretaker\, partly to lessen negative projections onto the child\, and partly to help the parent or caretaker learn to identify and and help the child manage challenging feelings.  In Sandplay the child is able to express through play emotional conflict\, anxiety\, depression\, anger\, grief and deep emotional turmoil by creating various scenes in the sand in silence.  These sand scenes can then be used as a way or mirroring\, expressing\, and communicating what is often not yet available in language.  This seminar will help the therapist to identify Kalff’s stages of ego development as expressed through Sandplay as well as the stages \n\nThe Witch Archetype:\nIts Impact in a Sandplay Case\n\nJoan Concannon\, M.F.T.\nThe figure of the witch in fairy tales symbolizes the dark\, devouring aspect of the   Mother Archetype.  As a figure in Sandplay\, the witch often represents a sense of chaos either internal or external\, which can threaten to overwhelm a more fragile ego.\nDrawing from fairy tales\, clinical material\, including dreams and sandtrays\, this  workshop will demonstrate some of the ways in which the archetype of the witch can unconsciously influence the life of the client as well as challenge the therapeutic process. \n  \nJoan C.
