|
This study presents a case study of the application of sandplay therapy for a 9 year old boy, with microtia, who is obsessed with animation characters. The boy has a sunken left ear and shows slowness in physical movement. Due to his microtia, he exhibits a lack of self-confidence and has difficulties in relating with his peers. He also exhibits addiction to animation characters. Sandplay therapy sessions were conducted weekly, for a total of 23 sessions. The therapy sessions consist of three phases. In the initial phase of 1-4 sessions, the internal state of the client is chaotic. Throughout the middle phase of 5-17 sessions, the client begins a journey of self discovery; this involved an adventurous search for his masculinity and his Self. In the final phase of 18-23 sessions, the client shows a return to the community, which means that he has strengthened his ego. In summary, the study proposes a journey of individuality of a handicapped boy through sandplay therapy.
