The SCC is a sandplay assessment tool composed of qualitative, descriptive categories that amplify specific aspects of sandplay construction. It contains a detailed listing of all known modes of expression in the making of a sandtray with a focus on patterns of change from one tray to the next. The checklist was originall constructed for the purpose of analyzing and comparing the sandplay process of abused and nonabused children. This unique checklist is especially useful for beginning sandplay therapists seeking guidelines for sandplay analysis, for advanced therapists desiring an in-depth and thorough study of a specific sandplay process, and for research in sandplay therapy.
