Sandplay and Storytelling chronicles the results of a research study which measured the behavioural self-esteem and educational benefits of Sandplay and storytelling for children over the course of the school year.  The results indicated a marked reduction of presenting symptoms and a substantial rise in IQ scores for the majority of the participants.  The authors advocate for the inclusion of imaginative and creative play modalities as part of regular curricula to enhance student well-being and learning.

Combining the fields of child psychology and child education, this groundbreaking work explores how engaging children in Jungian sandplay therapy and imaginative storytelling can improve classroom performance and increase intelligence scores. Written by child specialists, it makes a solid argument for the necessary consideration of the unconscious and the inner world of the individual child in learning and advocates that curriculum design for children must include both imaginative therapeutic play and active attention to children's emotional needs. Educators, psychotherapists, and concerned parents alike will find this book informative and useful.
