Messages in the sand: sandtray therapy techniques with graduate students in an educational leadership program

Abstract

The authors describe and use a psychotherapeutic modality known as sandtray therapy in order to help thirteen veteran teachers in the graduate educational leadership program at Brigham Young University reflect on the biographical, critical, and spiritual dimensions of their sense of calling as educational leaders. The authors first look at findings from the group as a whole. After that, they look in depth at four individual sandtrays.
