Can the Mind Heal?<br />
Denise ramos, PhD, JA, ISST-T (Sằo Paolo, Brazil)<br />
Can the mind promote healing? This lecture<br />
will focus on Jungian psychosomatic<br />
theory and the efficiency of sandplay therapy<br />
in the treatment of organic symptoms,<br />
enabling the audience to begin to develop<br />
a theoretical rationale and practical approach<br />
to work with patients with organic<br />
symptoms. We will examine the interrelationship<br />
between psychological complex<br />
and somatic symptoms, and how sandplay<br />
technique can promote healing by the<br />
transduction of a symptom from the signal<br />
to the symbol.<br />

where elephants Hide and become Masters of wisdom and integration<br />
Braam Beetge, ISST-C (South Africa). Sponsor: Lorraine Freedle, PhD, ABPdN, ISST/<br />
CST-T (Hawaii)<br />
Dan, a ten-year-old boy in South Africa, invites us to cast a glance into the infinitely varied<br />
world of the psyche as he follows his call to connect inner and outer nature through the<br />
integration of body, mind and spirit. Within the silent temenos, Dan expressed his dysphoric<br />
mood and deep struggle with loneliness. Working with African elephants allowed him to<br />
make contact with an important, lost aspect of his psyche. As he connects his inner and<br />
outer natures, Dan starts to process his internalized anger and unites conscious man with<br />
primitive man in what C.G, Jung called "connecting with one’s bush soul." His joyful and<br />
liberating acceptance of his creations in the sand, especially near the end of his sandplay<br />
process, mark the acceptance of his own creative potential and more importantly, himself.<br />
Through the therapeutic process, he is moved to seek opportunities to bring more awareness<br />
to others regarding the role of elephants and nature in inner healing and the healing of<br />
mother earth.<br />
