Abstract

February is a special month for sand therapy therapists. February bookends the life and death of Margaret Lowenfeld (February 4, 1890 – February 2, 1973). All our models, approaches, and uses of sand therapy find their way back to her. Based on many of her own life and professional experiences, Dr. Lowenfeld began with curiosity about finding a way for children to share their worlds to facilitate emotional and psychological health. Much like Eliana Gil, in her article in this issue, Dr. Lowenfeld sought to find entry points to understand clients.
