The Elusive Other Is Found in the Tray
Authors: Winter Rosalind
Published: November 2024

This case presentation focuses on Ann's sandtray work that took place during the final 10 months of a 7-year analytic process. Ann, a 27-year-old extraordinarily creative and verbal woman, first came to work with me as her conventional marriage and extroverted life based on collective roles were falling apart. Due to severe early wounding and shared anxiety between Ann and her mother, Ann had split off most of her internal experiences, and as such living a false ego or collective persona. Ann did approximately 20 trays in a 7-month period. Her process followed alchemical symbolism, with extensive use of eggs. She used very few miniatures. Our ultimate goal was to give her the opportunity to birth her self. "To arrive where we started and know the place for the first time. Through the unknown, the remembered gate. . ." (T. S. Elliott).

Child Analysis Using Kalff and Fordham
Authors: Bradway Kay , Feldman Brian
Published: November 2024

Comparison of Brian's Fordham-oriented developmental therapy with a psychotic 7-year-old boy and Kay's sandplay therapy with a dyslectic 10-year-old girl. Several common elements appeared, including: initial absence of verbal communication, communication through toys, concern with "good" and "bad," use of "toys" in showing negative feelings toward therapist, providing selves with experiences of being in authority over the therapist. Other commonalities included providing for the passing of a concrete object between therapist and child the day before separation from the therapist, use of therapy to help with fear of uncontrolled anger, and production of angry feelings in both therapists. Finally, a growing love for therapist then reflected in external relationships, and increased capacity for learning. The overall common element in both therapies was the evidence of self-healing, with each child "running the show" when provided with a free and protected container by an empathic therapist.

The Use of Sandplay in a Graduate Educational Leadership Program
Authors: Mayes Clifford , Blackwell-Mayes Pamels
Published: November 2024

Two researchers in an educational administration graduate program used sandplay to help the students reflect upon the deeper personal, political, and spiritual dynamics of their sense of calling as educational leaders. These graduate students were mostly mid-life teachers who had been chosen by their districts to participate in this nationally highlighted administrative program that would eventually result in the possibility of principalship. Their various sandtrays evidenced clear differences according to gender, family-of-origin issues, whether the person had been an elementary or secondary school teacher, and whether the person was just beginning or ending the program. Some limited support was also found for the notion that the four quadrants of the sandbox may in some cases correspond to Jung's four-part personality typology.
Recognizing the Appearance of the Self in Sandplay Therapy
Authors: Cameron Scott
Published: November 2024

In this research article the appearance of the Self is described in sandplay literature as the most significant event that occurs in a sandplay process. There has been little systematic examination of how the appearance of the Self is recognized in sandplay therapy, however. To this end, this study explored the following questions related to the Self and sandplay therapy: What does the appearance of the Self mean with regards to sandplay therapy?, (2) What are the issues related to recognizing the Self in sandplay therapy?, (3) To what degree is the term "Self tray" accepted and used to refer to the appearance of the Self in sandplay therapy?

Eleven semi-structured interviews were conducted with members of Sandplay Therapists of America (STA), to explore these questions in depth. A guide for these interviews was constructed by consulting with sandplay therapists and by conducting four pilot interviews. The interviews were transcribed and qualitative research software was used to facilitate data organization and analysis. The conclusions of the study are a description of the elements and themes which emerged during the process of data gathering and analysis.
Robert: Stuttering
Authors: Kiepenheuer Kaspar
Published: November 2024

In this article the author recounts his therapy sessions with a 20-year-old man who had suffered from a severe case of stuttering since age 4. By providing Robert with the contained and secluded environment of the sandtray Robert was able to communicate with the therapist through his sandtrays without the pressure and the necessity of spoken words. Encouraging him to make short comments on the sandtrays, first on paper and eventually verbally, Kiepenheuer managed over time to free Robert from his disability by eliminating the fear, embarrassment, and resulting inferiority complex.

Snakes: Separation and Individuation
Authors: Hoeberichts Joan
Published: November 2024

Snakes are found as symbols for separation and individuation throughout history in myth and religion. The serpent is an archetype that contains the qualities needed to separate. Some of these qualities are coldness, independence, solitariness, and anger. Patients engaged in sandplay therapy often unconsciously select snakes to place in a sandtray when they are in the process of struggling with a separation issue, thus providing the clinician with important information. This article presents myths, the story of Adam and Eve and the serpent, and the Buddhist legend of Nagarjuna, as examples of the snake as an agent of individuation. It also provides two clinical examples illustrating the use of snakes by two patients struggling with separation.

The Mystery of Meeting: Creative Emergence, Relationship and Healing
Authors: Chiaia Maria Ellen
Published: November 2024

This article discusses shared relational experiences and meetings that occur between the therapist and sandplayer. The author stresses the importance of these experiences including those of love and hate being acknowledged and experienced between the sandplayer and therapist and not just witnessed in the sand. She summarizes her doctoral research where she and her co-researcher coined the term "transindividual field." The author uses images from alchemy, theoretical ideas from Jung and other analytic and psychoanalytic writers to describe the transindividual field. The author expands the theoretical construct of the experience of the Self and includes its occurrence in the transindividual field. The article is interspersed with clinical examples. The author states that these co-transference experiences occur in and through the transindividual field and that from this field creative emergence and healing can occur.

Little Red Riding Hood
Authors: Burnett Nancy
Published: November 2024

The author considers the task of symbol study and summarizes her pilot research into amplification of Little Red Riding Hood characters, settings and actions. Discussion of literature from folklorists and Jungian authors and the film Chocolat that contains Red imagery demonstrates a range of historical, socio-cultural and psycho-emotional interpretations of story elements, images and themes as related to the characters' potential for transformation toward individuation. The author describes how some film characters that mirror Red characters are carried forward developmentally and why this is important. Questions and interpretation possibilities useful to sandplay therapists considering story related imagery included in clients' sand scenes are offered. A range of possibilities applicable to differing ages, genders, life stages and presenting situations is revealed.

Knowing and Not Knowing: Sandplay as Zen Koan
Authors: Kaplan Jill
Published: November 2024

The author compares the experience of witnessing sandplay process with that of a Zen student working with a koan, or teaching story. The author selects a koan which contrasts "knowing" with "not knowing" in relation to awakening, or enlightenment. This "knowing" and "not knowing" is analogous to the sandplay therapist's need to remain open to possibility while knowing as much as possible about image and symbol. The author then uses first trays of 3 patients to exemplify the idea of holding the work in the sand in a place of "not knowing."

Analysis and Sandplay: Toward Spanning the Gap
Authors: Castellana Franco , Kirsch Jean
Published: November 2024

This paper examines the analytic setting that includes sandplay and the processes which facilitate the movement of experience that has been encapsulated in the body (which has the potential to become psychological, but is not yet capable of symbolization) into psychological space. Two Jungian analysts offer their experiences to encourage a dialogue about the phenomena that are observed in sandplay. Theoretical grounding for sandplay is found in Jungian and psychoanalytic theory. The focus of the authors is upon the psychological forces, to which the analytical pair is subjected, when intense affects generated by the sandplay process are manifested in the transference and countertransference.

History of Sandplay and Analytic Work
Authors: Chiaia Maria Ellen
Published: November 2024

This article focuses on the history of the ideas that form the theoretical foundations: the ground of Jungian based, analytically oriented sandplay therapy. The author notes that sandplay was created within a Jungian context. Some of the dialogues about sandplay and Jungian analysis have been fertile and integrative while others disintegrative and splitting. However, all of these conversations have added to the thinking about the interface of sandplay and analysis and how sandplay influences the clinical work in analytically oriented psychotherapy.

Embarking on a Heroine's Journey: The Initial Phase of a Sandplay Process
Authors: Bedord-Strohm Deborah
Published: November 2024

The first five trays of a woman's sandplay process are discussed with reference to typical characteristics of initial trays. The first tray shows the prospective aspect for therapy, the second the current situation. The next three trays together reveal a call to the sandplayer to leave her current restrictive inner situation behind, to dare to cross a threshold and embark on a heroine's journey of the senses towards the tree of life and the feminine. Major symbols discussed include the the tree, the snake and the bridge both as connector and as threshold.

Twenty-One Points to Be Considered in the Interpretation of a Sandplay
Authors: Kalff Martin
Published: November 2024

"Twenty Points to be Considered in the Interpretation of a Sandplay" was published in this Journal in 1993. These reflections on sandplay interpretation were originally compiled in response to American students' requests for guidelines on interpretation. The article was revised and expanded in 2006 and its title updated to "Twenty-One Points to be Considered in the Interpretation of a Sandplay." Sandplay allows for the expression of preverbal consciousness. Interpretation by the therapist to the client is discouraged in order to not limit the client's freedom of expression and experience. Twenty-one points are considered for the understanding of a client's sandplay process.
A Rite of Passage
Authors: Brock Mary Ann
Published: November 2024

The Self and Its Evolving Heaven and Hell Manifestations
Authors: Grubbs Geri A.
Published: November 2024

The Self, its revelation in the Bhagavad Gita, relationship to the ego, spontaneous expressions in sandplay, and as a totality that includes both good and evil are the focal points of this article. The author presents her observations of the transformative nature of Self trays, referring to them as the ego in relationship to the Self at a particular moment, and shows in what ways the dark or evil side of the Self is also expressed. When recognized as such, she has found that it allows for the ego-Self relationship to transform from its constellation with the dark side to one of illumination, reconciliation and wholeness.
Clinical use of tumor necrosis factor-alpha inhibitors in Iraq: a review of their documented efficacy, safety, and associated genetics
Authors:   Clinical Pharmacy Department, College of Pharmacy, University of Baghdad, Baghdad, Iraq, Al-Jalehawi Ahmad K. ,   Clinical Pharmacy Department, College of Pharmacy, University of Alkafeel, Najaf, Iraq, Mohammed Samer Imad ,   Clinical Pharmacy Department, College of Pharmacy, University of Baghdad, Baghdad, Iraq
Published: November 2024

This comprehensive review examines the efficacy and safety of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) inhibitors in treating various autoimmune diseases, and focuses on their application in Iraqi patients. Elevated TNF-α levels are linked to autoimmune disorders, leading to the development of anti-TNF-α therapies such as infliximab, etanercept, adalimumab, certolizumab pegol, and golimumab, which have gained FDA approval for conditions like psoriasis, in¬flammatory bowel disease, ankylosing spondylitis, and rheumatoid arthritis. While these therapies demonstrate sig¬nificant therapeutic benefits, including improved quality of life and disease management, they also carry risks, such as increased susceptibility to infections and potential malignancies. The review highlights the variable patient re¬sponses to TNF-α inhibitors, influenced by pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic factors as well as genetic varia¬tions. The rise of anti-drug antibodies and inadequate drug concentrations are common challenges observed, empha¬sizing the need for therapeutic drug monitoring. Safety profiles of TNF-α inhibitors are generally favorable, but adverse effects (including infections and infusion reactions) have been reported. Genetic factors, such as polymorphisms in the TNF-α gene, may also play a role in the treatment responsiveness and adverse effects, suggesting the potential for personalized medicine approaches. While TNF-α inhibitors effectively manage autoimmune diseases in Iraqi pa¬tients, further research is warranted in order to optimize treatment strategies, assess long-term safety, and explore genetic influences on therapy outcomes. The findings underscore the importance of individualized treatment plans so as to enhance the efficacy and minimize the risks associated with these biologic therapies.

Research on Road Rage Detection System Based on Multi-feature Fusion
Authors: Liu Zixuan
Published: November 2024

The influence of driver's rage on driving safety is one of the centers of traffic accident research. Road rage is a common potential factor affecting driving safety. Real-time monitoring of driver's emotional state and timely intervention measures can effectively reduce the incidence of traffic accidents. At present, the reliability of driver emotion recognition based on single consistent factor for road rage needs to be further improved. Therefore, based on the multi-feature fusion method, this paper proposes a recognition method of driver's road rage emotional state that integrates facial expression, driving control, voice text and physiological characteristics, and proposes the analysis of fusion strategy. In order to improve the reliability and implementability of road rage symptom judgment, this paper studies the state identification methods of road rage and integrates the characteristics of road rage. The focus of this study is to solve the key problem of insufficient reliability of road rage recognition based on facial expressions through the combination of multiple features and multiple data, aiming at the defects of the study on the single feature of road rage, and effectively improve the accuracy of road rage state emotion detection.

Exploration on the Application of Game Theory in Business Competition Strategies
Authors: Lu Jiaxuan
Published: November 2024

This study delves into the application of game theory in business competition strategies, constructing game models to analyze the competition and cooperation among enterprises, encompassing market entry and exit, price competition, and advertising promotion strategies. Game theory aids enterprises in gaining a deeper understanding of their competitors’ strategies and formulating rational strategies. In the context of e-commerce price wars, an analysis of the “618” competition between Tmall and JD.com through a duopoly game model reveals that while price wars stimulate demand in the short term, they ultimately undermine profits in the long run. Consequently, enterprises must explore win-win mechanisms, incorporating differentiated competition, technological innovation, and cost control to maintain their leading market position.

This paper reviews the literature on the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and corporate financial performance (CFP). Furthermore, it examines the factors that moderate the relationship between the two, including corporate reputation, customer satisfaction, ethical leadership, ownership concentration, institutional environment and market competition, based on legitimacy theory and stakeholder theory. The results show that the relationship between CSR and corporate performance is affected by corporate reputation, customer satisfaction, ethical leadership, ownership concentration, institutional environment and market competition. This paper may have implications for corporate management and policy makers.
Research on Financial Regulation and Sustainable Development of Real Estate Markets
Authors: Ge Jiayi
Published: November 2024

The sustainable development of real estate is related to the interests of all parties, and it is of great significance to strengthen the macro-control and supervision of the real estate market to promote the sustainable development of the property market. This paper, taking Hangzhou as an example, points out that changes have occurred in Hangzhou's current macro-control policy system and the latest regulatory policies through literature review and case analysis. These changes are based on land supply, developer credit management, presale fund supervision, and financing credit support for enterprises, etc. These policies have played a positive role in the current sustainable development and transaction of Hangzhou's real estate. However, in the long run, there are still shortcomings in the top-level design of regulatory policies, policy implementation, and regulatory systems. This paper believes that in order to promote the sustainable and healthy development of Hangzhou's real estate market, improvements need to be made in policy optimization, regulatory models, and regulatory systems, so as to better play the unique role and value of policy regulation and better serve the overall economic situation. The research of this paper will also play a positive reference role for the real estate regulatory policies of other cities.
The Effects of COVID-19 on the Returns and Volatilities of Global Stock Indexes
Authors: Fang Jing
Published: November 2024

At the beginning of 2020, COVID-19 broke out around the world, and its impact on the global economy exceeded expectations. Countries declared states of emergency one after another. The outbreak not only triggered a crisis of supply, demand, investment, and supply chain disruptions but also transmitted to the financial sector. Global risk aversion is rising rapidly, and global stock markets continue to plummet, threatening to trigger further financial crises. To investigate the impact of COVID-19 on the financial sector and to prevent and mitigate financial risks, this paper examines the impact of COVID-19 on global stock markets from a global perspective. Firstly, selected data of seven global stock indices using WRDS and S&P Capital IQ databases. After processing these data, ARMA-GARCH modeling was carried out using the data before the outbreak and the data for the whole sample period respectively. Then, the residuals of the model were subjected to L-B and ARCH-LM tests to determine the fit of the model for different stock indices and different periods. Next, determine if the return and volatility of the equity index have changed during COVID-19 based on the goodness of fit. The results of the study show that: (1) The outbreak of COVID-19 has had a serious impact on the yields and volatility of major global equity indices. As can be seen from the descriptive statistics of the data, particularly around March 2020, each of the sample equity indices experienced high volatility. (2) By fitting the post-outbreak data using the pre-outbreak fitted model, it was found that the fit was poor. This suggests that the outbreak of the new crown epidemic had a significant impact on the process of generating stock data. (3) The results of this paper show that the data for the China SSE Composite Index after the outbreak still fit the pre-outbreak fitted model well. This also indicates that the Chinese mainland stock market has shown greater stability than other markets when all major world stock indices were significantly hit by COVID-19.
Research on Innovation and CSR of Small and Medium Textile Machinery Enterprises
Authors: Liu Yubing
Published: November 2024

This study focuses on small and medium-sized textile machinery enterprises in China, exploring how they can optimize sales performance through innovation and corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices, combined with organic online traffic and word-of-mouth recommendation strategies. Amidst the backdrop of fierce global competition in the textile industry, shifting consumer preferences, and heightened environmental requirements, the COVID-19 pandemic and Sino-American trade conflict have further exacerbated challenges faced by the industry. As a crucial link in the textile supply chain, textile machinery enterprises have also been impacted. Despite these difficulties, small and medium-sized textile machinery enterprises play a significant role in industry development and competitiveness. By integrating modern marketing strategies with CSR practices, this study aims to reveal how enterprises can effectively communicate their CSR commitments to expand market influence, boost sales growth, and strengthen brand reputation. The findings indicate that innovation and CSR play a pivotal role in enhancing corporate competitiveness, differentiating from competitors, and fostering brand loyalty. Based on interviews with a family-owned enterprise, this study observes that while the enterprise has achieved notable success in CSR practices, there is room for improvement in its marketing and communication strategies. Therefore, this paper proposes improvements such as optimizing the official website to highlight CSR, increasing investment in social media marketing, and combining CSR with offline word-of-mouth recommendations, with the aim of helping enterprises more effectively convey their CSR philosophies, attract potential customers, and drive sustained business growth.
Formation of Coalitions in Self-Enforcing International Environmental Agreements
Authors: Peter Yu Peixin
Published: November 2024

Climate change is not a solved issue in the world today: countries are not willing to mitigate for the benefit of everyone. It thus becomes necessary to investigate the reason for the lack of cooperation for a potential solution. This essay plans on modeling the payoffs of players in the international mitigation game, reaching the results that without an incentive provided by the coalition, players are unlikely to mitigate. Moreover, unequal relationships between countries can result in certain countries mitigating themselves while not encouraging their subordinate countries to mitigate.
On the Principle of Protection of Reliance Interests in Administrative Law
Authors: Ma Nan

Reliance on the principle of protection of interests first appeared in Germany, the German Administrative Procedure Act of 1976 established the principle as one of the basic principles of administrative law, and since then has undergone continuous development and improvement, and the development and improvement of the principle of protection of interests of the other civil law countries has had a far-reaching impact on the development and improvement of the principle of protection of interests of reliance. China's research on the principle of protection of reliance interests started late, the implementation of the administrative licensing law in 2004, article 8 and article 69 is the first time in China to the principle of clarity, which shows that the Chinese government is committed to transforming the functions of the government, in order to effectively protect the administrative relative of the legitimate interests of the trust. The concept of building a country based on the rule of law in China has put forward higher requirements for government integrity, and the administrative organ should ensure the continuity and stability of its administrative behaviour, guarantee the legitimate expectations of citizens, and maintain the stability of social order. The government's backtracking will cause incalculable damage to the government's credibility and integrity image. The application of the principle of protection of reliance interests in China is not only a necessary element in promoting the construction of a government of integrity in China, but also an important condition for the construction of a modern state of law.
Interpretation of the Norms of Criminal Jurisdiction Objects under the Hong Kong National Security Law
Authors: Meng Weitao
Published: November 2024

The Hong Kong National Security Law specifies the specific targets of sanctions, and the legislative content of the law on criminal jurisdiction objects clarifies the scope of behaviors protected and prohibited by law. Chapter 3 of the Hong Kong National Security Law specifies four types of crimes that endanger national security, including the crimes of secession, subversion of state power, terrorist activities, and collusion with foreign or overseas forces to endanger national security. From the perspective of legal interpretation, by grasping the dual elements of criminal intent and criminal behavior, the specific composition of the criminal jurisdiction objects stipulated in the law is clarified, revealing the particularity and strictness of the Hong Kong National Security Law in safeguarding national security. The normative interpretation of the specific criminal jurisdiction objects of this law can clearly stipulate the constituent elements of specific criminal acts, provide strong guidance for the effective jurisdiction of crimes that endanger national security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, strengthen the prevention and crackdown on acts that endanger national security, and effectively safeguard national sovereignty, security, and development interests.
