I've reported on a female client who suffers from a dissociative identity disorder. She had many traumatic episodes during her childhood. Probably, she had dissociative defenses from childhood. In this therapy, she represented herself through pictures, Sandplay and clay. I first employed LMT in order to grasp her clinical condition. Then, she enjoyed Sandplay. I think she became closer to her child aspect in the Sandplay. But there was some dangerous aspect in her Sandplay too ; she expressed too much. In her Sandplay, the reptiles went on a rampage. They were about to go beyond the boundary of the sand box. This seemed to connect to her own rampage in real life. The clay was a safe tool for her at that phase. She could safely touch the ground-like material of the clay. I think it was a curative substance in this therapy.
