Anne-Marie Weil was born in Geneva into a Jewish family who came from Germany. Her father was a manager of a department store in Geneva; her mother was a French teacher before she married. Anne-Marie Weil studied psychology in Geneva and worked from 1947 to 1950 as an assistant of Jean Piaget. Under his supervision, she investigated the emergence of national stereotypes in children an behalf of the UNESCO. In 1950 she went to London to train in child analysis with Anna Freud at the Hampstead Clinic. She underwent training analysis with Augusta Bonnard and qualified as a child analyst in 1954. Subsequently she worked at the Child Department at St George's Hospital and participated in a research project on blind children. In 1957 she married Joseph (Joe) Sandler (1927-1998), a Jewish psychoanalyst born in South Africa. They had two children, Catherine (*1958) and Paul (*1962), in addition to Sandler's daughter Trudy from his first marriage. Between 1965 and 1968 Anne-Marie Sandler trained as an adult psychoanalyst and had another training analysis with Edith Gyömröi. She became a training and supervising analyst of the British Psychoanalytical Society (BPAS) and established a psychoanalytic practice in London. Anne-Marie and Joseph Sandler collaborated on a number of papers and engaged in promoting the European Psychoanalytical Federation (EPF). She was president of the EPF from 1983 to 1987, president of the BPAS from 1990 to 1993, and director of the Anna Freud Centre from 1993 to 1996. She is also an honorary member of the Deutsche Psychoanalytische Gesellschaft and the Sigmund-Freud-Institut in Frankfurt. Although a loyal follower of Anna Freud, she has been inspired by the ideas of Melanie Klein too. Her book Internal Objects Revisited, which includes key contributions by Joseph and Anne-Marie Sandler, provides a theoretical basis for integrating the Kleinian internal object relations into an post-ego-psychological frame of reference. In 1998 Anne-Marie Sandler received the Sigourney Award for outstanding achievement in psychoanalysis. (Top of the article)
