초록
Globally, countless individuals end their lives through suicide, and South Korea, which prides itself on being among the ranks of advanced nations, is not exempt from this pressing social issue. This study seeks to explore whether sandplay therapy, grounded in an analytical psychological understanding, can offer therapeutic support to clients experiencing severe depression and suicidal ideation. Depression, studied extensively since the time of Hippocrates, remains a profound psychological symptom closely linked to suicide. However, current research and clinical approaches in this field are largely limited by their focus on external symptoms and socio-economic perspectives. In contrast, analytical psychologists advocate for an inward gaze, emphasizing the exploration of the inner world. Scholars like James Hillman and David Rosen, from this tradition, provide profound psychological insights into suicide and depression. They expand our understanding of these phenomena by addressing the deep layers of the human psyche that conventional suicide research often neglects, framing them as opportunities for the rebirth of the ego. This study examines case analyses of sandplay therapy, a modality rich in symbols and archetypes, to investigate its therapeutic potential for clients grappling with depression and suicidal ideation. Within the safety of the sandbox, clients can explore transformative possibilities, moving away from the extreme path of literal suicide toward a symbolic death and rebirth of the ego. For clients who feel trapped in depression and suicidal ideation, unable to transcend the collapse of their sense of omnipotence, the sandbox offers a sacred, boundless space where they can encounter archetypes and be guided toward transformation and healing.
Abstract
Globally, countless individuals end their lives through suicide, and South Korea, which prides itself on being among the ranks of advanced nations, is not exempt from this pressing social issue. This study seeks to explore whether sandplay therapy, grounded in an analytical psychological understanding, can offer therapeutic support to clients experiencing severe depression and suicidal ideation. Depression, studied extensively since the time of Hippocrates, remains a profound psychological symptom closely linked to suicide. However, current research and clinical approaches in this field are largely limited by their focus on external symptoms and socio-economic perspectives. In contrast, analytical psychologists advocate for an inward gaze, emphasizing the exploration of the inner world. Scholars like James Hillman and David Rosen, from this tradition, provide profound psychological insights into suicide and depression. They expand our understanding of these phenomena by addressing the deep layers of the human psyche that conventional suicide research often neglects, framing them as opportunities for the rebirth of the ego. This study examines case analyses of sandplay therapy, a modality rich in symbols and archetypes, to investigate its therapeutic potential for clients grappling with depression and suicidal ideation. Within the safety of the sandbox, clients can explore transformative possibilities, moving away from the extreme path of literal suicide toward a symbolic death and rebirth of the ego. For clients who feel trapped in depression and suicidal ideation, unable to transcend the collapse of their sense of omnipotence, the sandbox offers a sacred, boundless space where they can encounter archetypes and be guided toward transformation and healing.
