life and work

Joseph Sandler comes from a Jewish family. He completed his master's degree in psychology at the University of Cape Town at the age of 19 . He emigrated to Great Britain to - at the age of 23 - complete his PhD at London University . He then began his medical studies at University College London and his training analysis first with Willie Hoffer , then with his wife Hedwig Hoffer . At first he specialized in child psychiatry.

The Freud Memorial Chair in Psychoanalysis is a special chair because it is only filled with outstanding representatives of the subject upon invitation. The first professor was Joseph Sandler, and he pushed through the establishment of a Psychoanalysis Unit at University College London in order to better integrate psychoanalysis and academic operations. His successor Peter Fonagy praised both Sandler's clinical commitment and his passion as a teacher in the obituary. In his quiet and reserved way he translated the concepts of biology from the 19th century into the language of relationships of the 20th century.
