This is the second course in a four-part series on Jungian personality theory in the Sandplay process. Building upon the material from
Course 301, in this course we study the four functions, and their role in the Sandplay experience of both client and therapist. Participants will take an on line personality type indicator, intended to facilitate their subjective modes of perception and experience as the therapist in the sandplay process. This course reviews the roles of the persona and the shadow, and examines the function of archetypes in the healing and transformation of Sandplay.
