Abstract
This article discusses sandplay as a therapeutic tool in clinical work with children. The origins of sandplay are described and its possible use within the theoretical and methodological approach of transactional analysis are described. Several clinical examples illustrate how sandplay can be used within the child-therapist relationship to highlight certain aspects of script and its transformation.
