The analysis showed that for high depressive subjects-- 　 1、 More types of 「human figures」、「babies、students、teachers and milk cows」 were presented. 2、The themes were「trapped」、「nurtured」on an empty place or「death」. 3、The topics were 「death」、「the warmth- family」、「escape」、「school life」and 「sadness」. 4、The self-identified figures are mostly presented on the left side of the sand-play. 5、Crying and other emotional arousing signals were also observed. 6、The behaviors of non-touch sand were presented. 7、The whole playing processes can be categorized into three types—conflicted、trapped and twisted. The result implies the feasibility of applying sand-play experience upon the depressive elementary students.
