Abstract
This chapter addresses the ethical dilemmas that may be encountered in working in agencies with colleagues from diverse mental health disciplines and varying levels of expertise in sandplay therapy. The chapter explores the implications that the varied therapist journeys may have for the uninformed client, individuals’ own professional bodies, co-workers and managers and supervisors charged with the responsibility of overseeing sandplay therapists.
