Playground of Psychoanalytic Therapy

Building on the foundations of the "independent tradition" of British object relations theory and modern infancy research, Sanville proffers a new understanding of the role of play in the clinical situation. She attends especially to the therapeutic situation as a safe playground, the therapist's playful engagement of the patient, and the patient's emergent ability to embrace playfully the liberating possibilities of psychoanalytic therapy.Sanville, Jean is the author of 'Playground of Psychoanalytic Therapy', published 2000 under ISBN 9780881633313 and ISBN 0881633313.
