Abstract
This article examines how the author uses sandplay and family constellation approaches to enable clients to access nonverbal and preconscious material. It offers a brief account of the development and principles of sandplay and family constellation work, how they can be used in practice, and how they can be understood in terms of transactional analysis theory. It is suggested that combining these three approaches allows for the integration of different neural networks and ego states. Questions are raised as to which self (selves) is active in the sandplay and what role physis may play in this creative process.
