General knowledge of the therapeutic use of sandtray or similar expressive arts intervention in clinical work is assumed. A description of how the sandtray can be used to build supervisee-supervisor alliance and aid in supervisee insight and reflection is discussed. Case illustrations and suggested prompts to use in integrating sandtray interventions into clinical supervision are provided.
