Synopsis: Now in English and Chinese, Sandplay and Storytelling is being used by school counselors around the globe to help children with personality integration, emotional regulation, and learning. Using this documented evidence that engaging children in Jungian Sandplay and imaginative storytelling, more educational programs are focusing on the role of the childs imagination in academic performance. Written by child specialists, it makes a solid argument for the necessary consideration of the unconscious and the inner world of the individual child in learning and advocates that curriculum design for children must include both imaginative therapeutic play and active attention to childrens emotional needs. Educators, psychotherapists, and concerned parents alike will find this book informative and useful.
