Sandplay Therapy, founded by Dora Kalff (1904-1990) in the later 20th century, working at unconscious and symbolic level, is the creative application and development of C. G. Jung’s Analytical Psychology. Since its foundation, it developed rapidly in the field of intercultural communication and application in cross-cultural field.

The study is aimed at exploring the application of Sandplay Therapy in psychological counseling. Based on theories in Analytical Psychology, the study first works on the definition of Sandplay Therapy andincorporates “body” perspective into itsworking conceptsas well as research and application of its approaches. The study traces back to the “physical and psychic” concept in C. G. Jung’s Collected Works to explore the process of dialogue between conscious and unconscious as well as the approach of concentrating on extracting the life forces both physical and psychic by taking “body and its symbols” as an example.

Complex Adaptive System theory and theories in Analytical Psychology are employed in theoretical research with research methods of interviews, case studyand sandplay picture analysis, etc. Sandplay Therapy and dream workin Analytical Psychology are adopted as the main psychological counseling techniques. This paper can be divided into five parts: literature review, researches on the symbol of body, researches on the working concepts and approaches of Sandplay Therapy on the basis of body and its symbols, and case study.

The conclusions of the study are as follows. Body has three symbols of integrity, containers and transformation. Body is the media of dialogue between conscious and unconscious. The core of concentrated extract of the life forces both physical and psychic lies in the interaction between body and image. The working steps of concentrating on the extraction of physical and psychic energy are: containment and manifestation, transformation and materialization, internalization and application. Sandplay Therapy has better therapeutic effect both psychologically and physically.

Finally, on the basis of case study, symbolic significance of “4+1” and“米”-shapedlayouts are discussed. The “4+1” layout corresponds to the symbols of body transformation, symbolizing the movement state of the process of continuous integration and transcendence of physical and psychic material. “米”-shaped layout, a relatively stable state, is the evolvement of “4+1” layout.
