Sculpting with people--an educational experience.
This paper explores the technique known as 'sculpting' and examines its application to the education of nurses. It identifies the therapeutic origins of sculpting, the processes and techniques involved and other requirements necessary for its application to nurse education. The experiences of both facilitator and participant are also described. It is argued that experiential learning methods in many cases continue to be met with anxiety and distrust often being carried out by facilitators who lack the skill and expertise to provide for the psychological safety of participants. The neglect or improper use of experiential learning methods denies students a valuable 'educational experience'.
