At the Crossroads of Life and Death: Inhabiting Body and Psyche
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This author demonstrates how a sandplay process supports a 5-year-old boy in recovering a sense of autonomy and embodiment after surviving multiple surgeries in the first year of life. Born prematurely and with abdominal complications, the boy experienced early disruption due to the surgeries and hospitalizations. The author explains how the free and protected space of sandplay therapy helped the boy feel more comfortable in his own body so that he could consolidate a new sense of self. For example, the author describes how the boy's use of the symbol of the snake as Kundalini energy helped him achieve a sense of indwelling spirit. Throughout the boy's 4-year therapy process, he showed profound resilience by inhabiting body and psyche in a new way. The ways in which he progressed developmentally are described. This article is a proceeding from "Finding the Stillpoint…at the Crossroads," the 23rd ISST Congress, Ottawa, Canada, 2015.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
