Sand therapy

Sand therapy includes several other types of therapy, including play therapy and art therapy. Sand therapy was created by a psychologist named Dora Kalff in the 1950s. She consulted a pediatrician and child psychologist to develop it, but it is used on adults today, as well as children. In sand therapy, a patient is given a box or tray of sand, and sometimes small toys or figurines. Through the process of creating pretend worlds in the sand, the patient gives the therapist insight into their emotions, and how they relate to the world.
