Reflecting on the sandplay processes of three women, the author offers perspectives on the shed skin of the snake as a symbol and also on the process of psychological shedding that takes place in the course of therapy. These clients' presenting problems included depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, traumatic loss and lack of "good enough" parenting.
"Can Sandplay Therapy Change the Brain as It Reduces Anxiety?" The American Psychological Association Spotlights New Neurophysiological Research on Sandplay Therapy
Authors: Wiersma Jacquelyn K.
Published: November 2024

"The Effect of Sandplay Therapy on the Thalamus in the Treatment of Generalized Anxiety Disorder: A Case Report," by Mariana Foo, Lorraine Freedle, Ryrin Sani and Grace Fonda, is a groundbreaking study in sandplay therapy research, showing that sandplay not only transforms the psyche but that it can also result in demonstrable neurophysiological changes in the brain. Looking at changes in the left and right thalamus, the researchers documented changes from an unhealthy range of important brain metabolites to the normal range of functioning after sandplay therapy. This article is featured in the November, 2020 American Psychological Association's "Article Spotlight" which directs the attention of professionals and the general public to noteworthy articles. This study is part of a trend of rapidly proliferating research in sandplay therapy world-wide.
The Boat as Symbol of the Self
Authors: Harding Brendan
Published: November 2024

The article describes the use of the boat as a symbol by a client who "lost herself" as a person when her husband sustained a serious accident. As the client progressed over a 5-year therapy she began to "find herself."" Her use of the boat in her sandplay therapy suggested a masculine energy that, combined with the feminine aspect of the symbolic image of the boat to finally constellate a self image. The author suggests that the boat, which is often thought of as feminine, a container, has many masculine aspects and that combined these can be symbolic of the self.

The Meaning and Importance of a Father's Blessing to Transform the Space Between Us
Authors: Saul Ellen H.
Published: November 2024

The author reflects on the STA Fall Workshop, that took place October 2-3, 2021. Framed by music, art, and poetry, participants were invited to enter into cultural history from the Navajo creation myth of the twin brothers seeking their father's blessing. Each participant was invited to remember their own experience of a father's blessing, to give the blessing they yearned for to the child they were, and to send their father the blessing he might not have gotten. Participants' comments reflected the connections they felt in the space between them through these experiences.
Confronting Ethical Conundrums: The Potential Implications of Recent Abortion, Gender Identity, and Sexual Orientation Laws
Authors: Loue Sana
Published: November 2024

The passage of increasingly restrictive laws relating to abortion access, transgender care, and school discussion of sexual orientation has led to numerous ethical dilemmas for sandplay therapists. The article provides an overview of some of these issues and raises a number of questions that sandplay therapists might wish to consider in their practice. The article is intended to raise sandplay therapists' awareness of these ethical issues so that they are better able to navigate potential ethical challenges. The article concludes with suggestions for therapist and client consideration. The article is not intended to offer and should not be construed as providing legal advice. Individuals wishing legal guidance regarding their specific situations are advised to consult with a legal professional.
Inter-Brain Synchronization in the Client–Therapist Relationship During Sandplay Therapy: An Exploratory Study
Authors: Akimoto Michiko , Ishihara Hiroshi , Ito Junko , Tanaka Takuma , Kubota Yasutaka , Narita Keiichi
Published: November 2024

Inter-brain synchronization (IBS), the brains of more than two persons in concert, is considered as a neural basis for relationship. We investigated inter-brain synchronization (IBS) as an indicator of the client-therapist relationship during a simulated sandplay session and a post-sandplay interview between client and therapist, with both using a wearable two-channel near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) device. We analyzed the quantitative data of changes in total Hb (hemoglobin) values (i.e., indicators of regional brain functioning) with the qualitative data of video recordings of sessions and the therapist's introspection. The results showed that client-therapist correlations (i.e., IBS) in clinically important intervals (which we termed "moments of interest" [MOIs]) in the sandplay and interview, in particular at a point in which the client made a river with dynamic actions, showed distinctive IBS. In addition to MOIs, many intervals showing positive or negative synchronization were observed, which might indicate subtle moments of empathy, possibly caused by seeing movements. Our study showed that combining the NIRS data with behavioral data in this way may bring new insights into interactions between the client and therapist during sandplay therapy.
Alchemy and the Transformation of the Therapist-Client Relationship
Authors: Loue Sana
Published: November 2024

The concept of the alchemical process is relevant not only to the individual client venturing forth in therapy, but to the relationship between the therapist and the client as well. Although alchemy was a highly solitary work, alchemists frequently had one helper; perhaps the therapist can be viewed as the "alchemical helper" to the client. We may posit that as the client moves through the various alchemical stages of their therapeutic journey, so too does the relationship between the alchemist/client and alchemist/helper-therapist transform through a parallel alchemical process. This article explores the alchemical transformation of the therapist-client relationship in the context of therapy with one client.
Archetypal Affects: Healing and Consciousness in Sandplay Therapy
Authors: LeBel Ellen Searle
Published: November 2024

The author describes Louis H. Stewart's theory of an Archetypal Affect System, based on Jungian concepts, to understand and observe psychological consciousness and development through play and symbols in sandplay therapy. Realizing that the theory is not widely used in the field of sandplay therapy today and could be beneficial, Ellen Searle LeBel applied it to reviewing a completed sandplay process. The seven primordial archetypal affects were tracked using Rie Rogers Mitchell and Harriet S. Friedman's method for identifying and tracking themes in a sandplay process. Emotions and themes of wounding and healing were observed throughout the long-term sandplay process of an adult woman with early childhood trauma. Ten trays reveal a progression from emotional crisis and wounding to healing archetypes, life-enhancing emotions, ego-development and individuation. This case study suggests that tracking archetypal affects in sandplay therapy reveals psychological development from the primordial self to the realized self.
The Nesting Doll in Sandplay Therapy
Authors: Home Miriam
Published: November 2024

The author, Miriam Home, explores the use of nesting dolls in sandplay therapy, particularly focusing on the treatment of a woman struggling with addiction, eating disorders, and unresolved trauma. For this client the nesting doll, or matryoshka, symbolized the layers and complex interplay of personal and intrapsychic maternal figures. Her engagement with the nesting dolls in sandplay indicated significant insights into her self-image and maternal desires. The client's sandplay therapy process illustrated how these symbolic figures facilitated her gradual emotional healing and the profound impact of maternal symbols in her psyche and therapy. The article briefly explores the historical and cultural significance of nesting dolls. The author emphasizes the importance of maternal containment and the therapeutic relationship in fostering psychological resilience and growth. The discussion extends to the therapist's countertransference and archetypal maternal images.

RESİM SANATINDA MALZEMENİN YARATIM VE YIKIM DÖNGÜSÜ: NICOLA SAMORI
Authors: Dülger Fatih
Published: November 2024

Yaratım ve yıkım, art arda gerçekleşerek yeni oluşları meydana getiren süreçlerdir. Sanat akımları önceki dönemin eğilimlerini reddederek ortaya çıkarken, özellikle modern sanatta yeniye ulaşma arzusuyla geleneğe yönelik yıkıcı bir tavır alınır. Bu çalışmada, bahsedilen tavır sayesinde kendini gösteren sanatsal yönelimlere değinilirken amaç; içinde yıkıcı süreçleri barındıran bir yöntemle üretimler yapan Nicola Samori’nin resim pratiğini incelemektir. Sanatçı, hayranlık ve takıntıyla beraber bugüne taşıdığı barok figür anlayışını resminin bir parçası haline getirerek, onu farklı yollarla manipüle eder. Ustalıkla boyadığı yağlıboya resimleri ona son derece ters bir hareketle yıkıma uğratarak görsel, kavramsal ve malzemeye dair karşıtlıklar yaratır. İncelikle çalışarak gösterdiği yanılsamacı imgeyi ve anlamını, malzemenin maddiliği ile keskin ve şiddetli bir şekilde bozar. Bu sayede malzeme ve anlam, biçim ve içerik bakımından katmanlı bir gösterge sunar. Samori, tekil olarak eserlerinin yanı sıra bütünsel üretim sürecinde döngüyü her zaman yapılanmaya doğru yönlendirmeye çalışır, böylece döngüyü işlevsel kılar.

Educational Implications Derived from Derrida's Concept of Critical Thinking
Authors: Hesari Shorangiz , Rahmani Jahanbakhsh , Barataly Maryam
Published: November 2024

The present study aims to infer the educational implications derived from Jacques Derrida's concept of critical thinking. To achieve this, an analytical-inferential method has been employed. Critical thinking from Derrida's perspective is a complex and multifaceted concept. In his view, critical thinking is related to the analysis and critique of language, texts, concepts, ideologies, and power structures. Derrida believes that no fixed or absolute meaning exists, and all meanings are formed in a play of signs and differences. Critical thinking, according to Derrida, means questioning any established truth, value, reasoning, or principle. Instead, he examines and critiques the methods, criteria, assumptions, and consequences. Derrida emphasizes that education should be critical in nature; he believes that critical thinking should be central, asserting that all aspects of education should be subject to change. In schools, alongside teaching critical thinking, emphasis should be placed on cultivating critical learners. In this way, the process of teaching and learning will be established in a critical and investigative manner. In this regard, the present study, through the exploration of Derrida's concept of critical thinking, aims to infer the educational implications stemming from his views using Frankena’s model.

One of the new strategies to increase the effectiveness of chemical fertilizers, prevent the waste of chemical fertilizers, and increase the yield of agricultural products, is the use of natural compound such as zeolite. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of zeolite (0, 5, 10, and 15 t ha-1) on agronomic and biochemical responses as well as yield components of maize (cv. Simon) under normal (90% field capacity), moderate (75% FC), and severe (60% FC) drought stress conditions during 2017-2019. The results showed that moderate and severe drought stress significantly decreased plant height (10.9% and 19.7%, respectively), plant fresh weight (15.2% and 17%, respectively), and plant dry weight (26.7% and 39%, respectively). The highest chlorophyll content reduction was observed under drought stress especially in severe stress (30.7% compared to the normal condition). Application of zeolite improved agronomic (plant height, fresh and dry weight), biochemical (carbohydrate, proline, protein, total phenol, and peroxidase enzyme activity), and yield-related traits under severe drought stress condition. Therefore, zeolite alleviated the effect of drought stress for both consecutive years. Hence, the application of 10 and 15 t ha-1 zeolite respectively, increased the grain yield by 20.1% and 61.9% under drought stress compared to control (no application of zeolite). In conclusion, the application of 15 t ha-1 zeolite is the suitable treatment to alleviate the negative effect of drought stress on maize (cv. Simon).
Exploring the role of teacher identity in shaping pedagogical practices in multilingual classrooms
Authors: Marcel Jessica
Published: November 2024

This research investigates the role of teacher identity in shaping pedagogical practices within multilingual classrooms; specifically, the ways in which teachers' multilingual identities have consequences for student engagement and anxiety. The current pre-test and post-test design was undertaken with 20 secondary school students in England, with the application of identity-focused interventions at the level of multilingual storytelling and reflective journaling. Results indicated that students were more engaged (M = 23.3, p < .001) and less anxious (M = 22.25, p < .001). In so doing, these findings shed light on the role of teacher identity in promoting inclusive and emotionally supportive learning environments. The present study highlights the necessity for teacher education to embed the dimension of identity awareness and conduct curricular developments that valorise students' multilingual identities more effectively. It thus places the pedagogical practices alongside the linguistic and cultural backgrounds of students, therefore offering valuable input toward the improvement of language-learning outcomes within diverse educational settings.
Enhancing business English proficiency through translanguaging: a CLIL approach to teaching all four language skills
Authors: Ming Lei
Published: November 2024

This research principally intends to explore the effectiveness of the translanguaging-based CLIL approach on undergraduate students in terms of improving Business English proficiency in reading, writing, listening, and speaking (Nikula & Moore, 2019; García & Li, 2014). The results of the research indicated statistical significance across all four language skills, with participants gaining more in listening and speaking due to the interactive and collaborative nature of the Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) curriculum (Cauli, 2021; Iswarya & Sundarsingh, 2022). The strategic use of native languages, for example, to re-explain business vocabulary, however, created a gateway for meaning, interest, and beliefs in the business vocabulary (Yuzlu & Dikilitaş, 2021). Translanguaging was claimed to lighten participants' cognitive load, enhance their understandings, and enable them to reach a deeper level in the contents dealing with business (Li, 2018). Among others, the implications of the study make a case for the pedagogical significance of translanguaging within multilingual classrooms of professional and academic CLIL settings (Lin, 2019). Educators are invited to consider translanguaging strategies that transcend linguistic barriers and advance equity in multilingual contexts (Bonacina-Pugh et al., 2021), while policymakers are called to reconsider the development of language education policies that should be inclusive of the full linguistic repertoire of learners (García, 2009; Sah & Kubota, 2022). Results emphasise training for the teachers and preparation of resources to implement the translanguaging and CLIL philosophy accordingly, hence providing a transformative framework that fosters Business English proficiency and 21st-century skills in globalised educational contexts (Yang, 2015; Llanes & Cots, 2020).
