This book is a reference for mental health professionals who utilize
sandplay therapy with their child and/or adult clients. The Brief
consists of case studies that are drawn from composite situations
occurring in actual practice. Although some of the ethical issues raised
and addressed are specific to sandplay therapy, others are generalizable
to other modalities of mental health practice. Each chapter draws on
ethical principles of clinical practice and research. The Brief includes
relevant portions of professional ethics codes governing mental health
professionals from an array of English-speaking countries--Australia,
Canada, the U.K., the U.S., and New Zealand--to maximize the relevance
of the text to sandplay therapists globally, whether they are licensed
psychologists, marriage and family therapists, counselors, or social
workers.
