A Report on a Self-Exploration through Sandplay-Drama Method --On Aggression and Mother-Daughter Relationship in a Modern Japanese Woman--

Abstract

Here, a process of a self-exploration by a middle-aged woman through Sandplay-Drama (SPD) shall be reported. She made six SPD's for three months. Through them, she examined her relation to a controlling mother image, understood anger and aggression inside herself, and found out the way to control them. It was suggested that some themes imposed on her are common to many women and that SPD is useful as a means for self-exploration.
