The author presents a reflection about analytic therapy with couples using the method of Sandplay. The research has been in place for over a decade and was carried out by a group of analysts who are also members of LAI, Analytic Laboratory of Images. The article touches on some aspects of a therapy concept founded on Jungian analytical psychology, which was elaborated in years of work with couples, integrating the concepts of the collective unconscious, the role of affective tone complexes, the individuation process. Among the main lines of this research there is the innovative use of Sandplay in couple therapy. Exposing a clinical case, the article presents the sense of introducing in couple analytic therapy the “game action”, suited to promote contact with emotions and the emerging of imagination. Sandplay, shared by the partners in an analytic context, is presented in its value of affective communication, contact with the content of the complexes and possible access port to the symbolic function.
