Abstract

The intervention of sandtray for children with traumatic experiences can be beneficial in creating a safe therapeutic relationship and for helping clients connect to their authentic inner world when counselors work with child sexual trauma survivors. This article applied principles of sandtray within a relational-cultural theory framework. A case example using sandtray with a 15-year-old girl was presented to exemplify the clinical integration of relational cultural theory and sandtray.
