Dora Kalff

Dora Kalff was a Swiss psychologist and the creator of the expressive art therapy approach known as "Sandplay." Developed in the mid-20th century, Sandplay involves using a sandbox and miniature figures to create scenes that reflect a person's inner thoughts and emotions. Through this process, individuals can explore their feelings and experiences in a safe environment, facilitating healing and self-discovery. Kalff's work emphasized the importance of the unconscious mind and the symbolic nature of play, making Sandplay a valuable tool in therapy for both children and adults.
