This book distills the essence of child psychoanalysis from the
practice and thought of its founder Anna Freud, who for over 50
years has been at the forefront of this controversial field.
Children are the most refractory of all subjects to treat
analytically. Here, for the first time, is a primer on the
difficult technique as practiced at the Hampstead Clinic in London,
which was founded by Anna Freud and is today the leading child
analytic center in the world. She and her colleagues expose their
wealth of experience to systematic review, which yields up rich
insights not only into child psychoanalysis and psychotherapy but
also into basic child development. In addition, their findings have
relevance to the understanding of emotional disturbance at all
ages. The book follows the treatment situation through all its
stages, from the first session to termination and follow-up. It
focuses on the interaction between therapist and child in the
treatment room, illustrating the points with copious clinical
vignettes. One point examined is the structure of treatment with
respect to such matters as scheduling sessions and handling
interruptions. Another element that comes under scrutiny is the
development of the child's relationship to the therapist, which
subsumes such factors as establishing an alliance, transference,
and resistance. The child's repertoire of expressions, both verbal
and nonverbal, is explored, as is the therapist's armamentarium of
interpretations and interventions. Woven throughout the description
of these elements is incisive commentary by Anna Freud. Her
commonsense approach gives the book unique value, lifting it to a
rare level of human wisdom.
