Abstract
This article describes a new method of sandtray therapy, the Therapeutic Sandstory Method, as a therapeutic journey for children and adolescents. Three main theoretical tenets to the Therapeutic Sandstory Method are described. These are sandtray therapy, storymaking in therapy, and narrative letter writing. The article provides a stage-wise description of the method and concludes with a brief case study by means of illustration. It is proposed that the Therapeutic Sandstory Method provides an effective short- to medium-term therapeutic engagement which can be used in a range of settings outside the confines of the consulting room and in under-resourced settings. It is ideally suited for therapeutic work in a postmodern constructionist orientation and seeks to empower children and adolescents, affirming alternative identities and exceptional life stories.
