Adult Counseling

When counselors and therapists think of using the sandtray as a counseling intervention, they often think sandtray work only as a play-therapy intervention for children (Hunter, 1998). However, over the last several decades, sandtrays have been included in counseling adolescents and adults more and more frequently (Homeyer & Sweeney, 2011).
