Abstract

This paper presents Sandplay as conceived by Kalff (1980) in a Junguian theoretical approach. We summon up some of the studies for the validation of its application in public health services as with patients suffering from cancer, abuse victims and other clinical patients. The clinical expansion of Sandplay as a nonverbal psychotherapeutic method is also discussed. The need for Sandplay use as a subject of scientific research is considered and justified. We also present some possibilities to enlarge the application of Sandplay, focusing its projective and diagnostic qualities, as an instrument for academic research in clinical psychology.
