Abstract

The purpose of this study was to report the counseling process and sandplay of a woman A (35 years old), who was struggling with the relationship of her to her husband, daughter (B), and mother, and to consider it from the viewpoint of “Snow White” complex. At the beginning of the counseling, A suffered from not understanding the reason why B could not attend school, but as counseling progressed, A became aware that the distorted relation of her mother influenced the relationship between A and B and contributed to B’s nonattendance at school. As counseling proceeded further, when B came to attend school, A began to face the marital relations and realized that she had gotten married in order to run away from her hateful mother but could not have a happy married life and disliked her husband. Thus, A could keep a little distance from her husband, and she came to make serious efforts towards the work that she wanted to do, and began to walk independently to the future, although there were still some problems to resolve.
