Playing is an essential part of psychotherapy, and sandplay in particular allows for the development of an active tie between the therapist and the patient. This book analyses the elements that are introduced into therapy through sandplay: implicit memory, the embodied self and empathy, as well as the relationship that is created through the process of this type of therapy. Napoliello focuses on sandplay, but the use of the ideas here extends to the importance of activating a dimension of play in a patient as a way to bridge a link between the conscious and subconscious, on the importance of body language and using past experience to decipher the meaning of physical movements.

Evidence from numerous studies supports that leadership and innovation are critical factors for organizational success and improved outcomes. Further, no change takes place and sustains without strong leadership. Although the United States spends more money on healthcare than any other country in the Western world, our health outcomes are poor. For example, the United States is the worst such country in which to give birth. Sick and crisis care continue to be the predominant paradigm; this needs to shift to well care as 80% of chronic conditions can be prevented with healthy lifestyle behaviors. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, we also have a mental health epidemic with over 50% of clinicians suffering from burnout, which affects the quality and safety of care. Solutions, including employing strong leaders and innovators, are urgently needed"
