Naracija u pesku: primena Jungovske terapije igrom u pesku u radu sa žrtvama traume
Narrative in sand: Jungian sandplay therapy for trauma victims

Summary/Abstract: Jungian Sandplay therapy has slowly shaped itself for the last 60 years within the traditional analytical frame of mind. It has mainly been used as a nonverbal method that complements the traditional Jungian / analytical process yet in recent times it has started to develop on its own terms as an autonomous therapeutic method. As such, nowadays it is used both as a technique supplementing Jungian analysis and as an independent analytical procedure that is used in therapy with children, adolescents and adult people, and as a diagnostic tool. Lately, sandplay is applied with trauma victims and survivors and the positive outcomes that it produces are corroborated by qualitative and quantitative surveys. In spite of the fact that many Jungians nowadays use it as reliable method for trauma survivors one can scarcely find articles which outline the theoretical basis of such an approach. Therefore, in this article we will introduce our (Jungian) theoretical footings upon which our therapeutic work with trauma victims is grounded. We assume our model could be used as a theoretical foundation as well as theoretical justification for a Jungian sandplay method when employed for trauma victims.
