To have psychotherapeutic relationship to old people -through the participation using the sandplay

2005年，我们继续从2004年开始的调查，通过与养老院的老人玩沙盘游戏来考虑心理治疗关系。此外，我们对去年以来收集的数据进行了分析。从2004年开始这个研究，我们定期召开会议，讨论这个调查的各个方面，讨论和修改问题，今年，我们分析了这个调查的方式是如何变化的。结果发现，调查需要两个方面。一种是适用于一般老年人，另一种是适用于特定的每个人。通过分析，认为后者更为重要，以与老年人建立深刻的心理治疗关系。因为我们和每个合作者进行了连续的沙盘游戏，合作者和观察者之间的关系变得有点类似于心理治疗中的关系。因此，我们采用个案研究的方法，对本次调查中产生的关系进行分析。结果发现，当我们思考“与老人的心理治疗关系”时，我们应该更多地关注合作者与观察者之间的关系，这种关系是通过沙盘游戏来发展的，而不是沙盘游戏工作本身的内容。特别是，我们对每次调查的“终止”主题进行了深入的讨论，这与老年人面临的现实问题“为死亡做准备”的主题息息相关。我们的结论是，我们需要研究老年人的心理治疗参与，认识到他们生活在失去和死亡的过程中，这超越了简单的“发展”概念。

In 2005, we carried on the investigation which we had been doing since 2004 to consider the psychotherapeutic relationship through the sandplay with old people who live in a nursing home. Also, we made analysis on the data which we had been collected since last year.1. Since the beginning of this study in 2004, we regularly had conferences on the various aspects of this investigation, and problems were discussed and modified there, and this year, we analyzed how the way of this investigation has been changed. As a result, it was found that the investigation entails two kinds of aspects. One is to be applied to old people in genera, and the other one is to be applied to each individual in particular. Through the analysis, it was thought that the latter is more important in order to have profound psychotherapeutic relationship with old people.2. Because we made continuous sessions of sandplay with each cooperator, the relationship between the cooperator and the observer became somewhat similar to that in the psychotherapy. So, we analyzed the relationship generated in this investigation, following the method of case study. As a result, it was found that, when we think about "psychotherapeutic relationship with old people",we should pay more attention to the relationship between the cooperator and the observer, which is to be developed through sandplay, rather than the content of sandplay work itself. In particular, we discussed closely about the theme of "termination" of each investigation, which has relevance to the theme of "preparation for death",a realistic problem for old people. Our conclusion is that we need to study psychotherapeutic participation to old people, recognizing that they are living in the process of losing and dying, and that is beyond the simple idea of "development".
