Background
Sanville, Jean Bovard was born on December 6, 1918 in Tionesta, Pennsylvania, United States. Daughter of Forrest Johnson and Ruth (Dimond) Bovard.
(Building on the foundations of the "independent tradition...)
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.
