Abstract: As a game therapy, the effect of sandplay therapy on individuals with social anxiety disorder is still being tested. We made a review of cases and studies that use sandplay therapy to reduce individuals level of anxiety and to treat social anxiety disorder, to explore the effectiveness of sandplay therapy on social anxiety disorder. We found that both the individual sandplay therapy and the group sandplay therapy can effectively relieve anxiety of children, teenagers, college students and adults, relieve anxiety symptoms, reduce the individuals avoidance behavior, promote individuals social skill and personality development. The design of study of sandplay therapy intervene social anxiety disorder should be diversified in the future, and can be combined with the technology of cognitive neuroscience and biofeedback, making physiological indexes as one of indexes that can test treatment effectiveness of sandplay. The mechanism and principle of sandplay therapy to alleviate social anxiety should be further researched.
