Anna Freud: A Biography

By Elisabeth Young-Bruehl

Book Overview

Anna Freud is the extraordinary life of the founder of child analysis, who was Digmund Freud's youngest daughter. Written with exclusive access to Anna Freud's vast literary estate, it is the definitive biography of this remarkable woman. Anna Freud (1895-1982) grew up vying with psychoanalysis for her father's attention. She would eventually become his constant companion, his professional collaborator and ambassador to the psychoanalytic movement, and, after his death, the chief keeper of his memory and his science, as well as taking her own historic place in the development of psychoanalysis through her work with children.
