Anne-Marie Sandler (December 15, 1925 – July 25, 2018) was a Swiss-born British psychologist and psychoanalyst noted for her clinical observation of the relationship dynamic between blind infants and their mothers in a project spearheaded by Anna Freud.
As she grew up, Sandler joined the undergraduate and postgraduate program in psychology at the University of Geneva, where she was selected by Jean Piaget to become his research assistant in his project with UNESCO in Switzerland, which focused on the development of children’s perception of homeland and foreignness.
[5][6] After finishing her training at Hampstead Clinic, Sandler joined the British Psychoanalytical Society (BPS) where she started practicing psychoanalysis for adult clients.
[3][6] As Sandler continued her psychoanalyst practice, she proceeded with writing several works on the field, sometimes, in collaboration with her husband.
In 1987 she appeared on the first edition of the celebrated television discussion programme After Dark, alongside among others Clive Ponting, Colin Wallace, T. E. Utley and Peter Hain.
