Summary:
The central theme of the book is concerned with a clear
differentiation between child analysis proper and analytical child
psychotherapy, and a detailed account of the controversies on
technique between Anna Freud and Melanie Klein in the 1920s and
1930s. It takes into account the historical background against which
child psychoanalysis developed, especially World War II and the Nazi
regime in Germany. The author also looks at the way child analysis
developed in specific institutions, such as The Hampstead Child
Therapy Course in London, and in specific areas such as the spread of
child analysis in the US. The concluding chapter is on the importance
of knowledge of child analysis among analysts working with adults.
The differences in the theories of the two "greats" in child
analysis, Anna Freud and Melanie Klein, are examined one by one,
including such concepts as the role of transference, the Oedipus
complex and the superego.
