The Sandplay Categorical Checklist for Sandplay Analysis

Author: Geri Grubbs, Ph.D.

The SCC is a sandplay assessment tool composed of qualitative, descriptive categories that amplify aspects of sandplay construction. It contains a detailed listing of all known modes of expression in the making of a sandtray with a focus on patterns of change from one sandtray to the next. The checklist was originally constructed for the purpose of analyzing and comparing the sandplay process of abused and nonabused children. This unique checklist is especially useful for beginning sandplay therapists seeking guidelines for sandplay analysis, for advanced therapists desiring an in-depth and thorough study of a specific sandplay process, and for research in sandplay therapy. Geri Grubbs is a Jungian analyst, sandplay therapist, teacher, lecturer, and consultant.
