What place do Anna Freud's ideas have in the history of
psychoanalysis? What can her writings teach us today about how to
work therapeutically with children? Are her psychoanalytic ideas
still relevant to those entrusted with the welfare of infants and
young people? Reading Anna Freud provides an accessible
introduction to the writings of one of the most significant figures
in the history of psychoanalysis. Each chapter introduces a number
of her key papers, with clear summaries of the main ideas,
historical background, a discussion of the influence and
contemporary relevance of her thinking, and recommendations for
further reading. Areas covered include Anna Freud's writings on: *
The theory and practice of child analysis and 'developmental
therapy' * The application of psychoanalytic thinking to education,
paediatrics and the law * The assessment and diagnosis of childhood
disorders * Psychoanalytic research and developmental
psychopathology Nick Midgley draws on his extensive experience as a
child psychotherapist and a teacher to bring Anna Freud's ideas to
life. He illustrates the remarkable originality of her thinking,
and shows how analytic ideas can be used not only in child
psychotherapy, but also to inform the care of children in families,
hospitals, classrooms, residential care and the court-room. Reading
Anna Freud will be of interest to child therapists, child analysts
and psychoanalysts, as well as others working in the field of child
and adolescent mental health, such as clinical psychologists, child
psychiatrists and educational psychologists. It also has much to
offer to those entrusted with the care of children in a wide range
of settings - including teachers, nurses and social workers - for
whom Anna Freud was always keen to demonstrate the value of a
psychoanalytic approach. Nick Midgley trained as a child and
adolescent psychotherapist at the Anna Freud Centre, where he now
works as a clinician and as Programme Director for the MSc in
Developmental Psychology and Clinical Practice. Nick has written
articles on a wide range of topics and is joint editor of Minding
the Child: Mentalization-based Interventions with Children, Young
People and their Families (Routledge, 2012) and Child Psychotherapy
and Research: New Directions, Emerging Findings (Routledge, 2009).
