"Sandplay has an accelerating history. It goes back to an early decade of this century when H.G. Wells wrote about his observing his two sons playing on the floor with miniature figures and his realizing that they were working out their problems with each other and with other members of the family. Twenty years later Margaret Lowenfeld, child psychiatrist in London, was looking for a method to help children express the "inexpressible." She recalled reading about Wellsâ experience with his two sons and so she added miniatures to the shelves of the play room of her clinic. The first child to see them took them to the sandbox in the room and started to play with them in the sand.

"Dora Kalff’s Sandplay Therapy understood the potential of the technique to produce images that connect to both personal and transpersonal aspects of the Unconscious. She expanded the power of the tool as an instrument for healing, growth, and transformation... she called her nonverbal, and non-interpretative variation: “Sandplay Therapy.” She appreciated the technique not only as a tool for bringing up Unconscious contents that could become conscous through interpretation, but as a tool for individuation." --ISTA
