Jungian Sandplay as developed by Dora M. Kalff is a nonverbal therapeutic process based on the psychology of C. G. Jung. The contents of the psyche and the path to individuation, as understood in Jungian psychology, become visible in the symbolic expression of the sandplay.
The lecture will recount how, through a combination of treatments addressing physical, emotional, and spiritual concerns, an ALS patient was able to connect with her Self and receive a “healing of her soul.” Her treatment included pain and symptom management, individual and joint counseling, participation in a sandplay process, and floor games with her spouse. Her sandplay photos will show us a process of individuation as described by C. G. Jung, and, in her words, the “miracle healing of the soul” that allowed her to face her death in peace.

“Floor games” is an interactive, creative fantasy that allows one to imagine change and the magic of transformation. Creating a safe place by use of relationship, this patient with ALS and her husband completed three floor games.
Following presentation of their floor game sessions, participants will have the opportunity to experience floor games in small groups. Individuals will choose objects (miniature figures) to use in creating a “Once upon a time….” story with others in the group. Processing will be completed with the entire group.
