Understanding Children's Sandplay by Margaret Lowenfeld

Understanding Children's Sandplay by Margaret Lowenfeld

Lowenfeld realised that 'Play' was the medium through which children worked out their emotional conflicts. She recognised that it was a cognitive process which could be analysed (in a non-Freudian way) to understand and deal with behaviour problems and also perhaps help them to develop. She developed the then new concept of non-verbal communication, and methods and tools for using Play as therapy and as a therapeutic and analytical tool. This work follows on from her classic book Play in Childhood was published in 1935.

"Throughout her long and innovative life, Margaret Lowenfeld emphasised the development of new forms of communication with children, especially devoting herself to the diagnosis of troubled childrenBy understanding and using the tools she developed, we can experience, and so partake of, her insights." - Margaret Mead, world renowned anthropologist and author of Coming of Age in Samoa
"Margaret Lowenfeld left an indelible mark her unique understanding of play and the development of the World Technique have caught the imagination of countless practitioners and researchers, who have absorbed her methods into their work, often without knowledge of her innovative contribution." - From Rie Rogers Mitchell and Harriet S. Friedman, Sandplay: Past, Present and Future
