In Japan, sandplay therapy has been widely used as an expressive and projective mode of nonverbal psychotherapy. It is a Jungian approach stemming from Kalff's work. However, in addition to the well publicized sandplay methods, there is sandtray, which is based on play therapy, The purpose of this paper is to explain about sandtray, since currently there are limited published reports about this method. Research based on internet searches and published books suggest that there are differences between the two methods. Sandtray can be used with a variety of shapes and sizes of sand trays, and with individuals, groups, couples, and families, It is regarded as more flexible than sandplay.
