Anna Freud, daughter of Sigmund, made many original contributions to psychoanalytic theory and child development, and yet much of her work remains relatively unknown. Taking a fresh look at Anna Freud’s theories and techniques from a clinical and critical viewpoint, and the controversy they caused, this book highlights how Anna Frued’s work is still relevant and important to the problems of today’s society, such as dysfuncional families, child delinquency and violence.
