Often the hands will solve a mystery that the intellect has struggled with in vain

The British and Irish Sandplay Society (BISS) is a member society of the International Society of Sandplay Therapy (ISST).
Founded by Dora Kalff in 1985, ISST endeavours to promote the study and practice of Sandplay Therapy, and the safe-guarding and development of this therapeutic method.
BISS represents and supports the professional practice of Jungian Sandplay in both Britain and Ireland. It was founded in 1987 by Joel Ryce-Menuhin, a London based Jungian analyst and Sandplay Therapist.
BISS continues to run a theoretical training programme for Jungian Sandplay therapy.
