A Case Study of Sand Play Counseling that Appeared as Chaos, Death, and Rebirth

This study is a case study of sand play counseling that appeared as chaos, death, and rebirth. The subjects of this study are two elementary school children living in Jeollabuk-do. Child A is a third-grade boy at Y Elementary School in City I, and Child B is a fourth-grade girl at B Regional Children's Center in County Y. The results of the study showed that in the chaos stage of Children A and B, they displayed disorderly characters, unrelated tasks, and threatening or confusing play, and showed confusion and conflict about maternal nature. In the death stage, the conflict between uncertainty and certainty began, a strong desire for attachment was shown, and fear and anxiety about reality appeared. In the rebirth stage, a new self appeared, adaptation to daily life was shown, and the play of death and rebirth was in progress, and new thoughts were reborn through death, and they appeared in the order of integration, order, and organization. This shows that sandplay counseling is a process of adaptation that shows inner strength, communication with the world, and harmonious integration to children who have experienced emotional conflict, maladjustment, and confusion during the growing up process.
