Ethical Issues in Sandplay Cyber-Supervision

Abstract

(from the chapter) The use of electronic means for professional supervision-consultation may be particularly important for sandplay therapists. Therapists utilizing sandplay may not accrue hours towards certification in this modality without supervision from sandplay therapists who are certified as teaching members by their national (Sandplay Therapists of America 2012) or international organization International Society for Sandplay Therapy (ISST). Yet, in many geographic areas, there are no certified sandplay therapists who can provide such consultation. This chapter discusses the potential benefits that can be derived from cyber-supervision and explores the ethical issues associated with the use of electronic means for the purpose of supervision. The chapter concludes with a summary of recommended practices for the supervisee and the supervisor. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2015 APA, all rights reserved)
