Anna Freud (3 December 1895 – 9 October 1982) was the sixth and last child of Sigmund Freud and his wife Martha Bernays Freud.[1]
She was born in Vienna. She followed the path of her father and contributed to the field of psychoanalysis.
With Melanie Klein, she may be considered the founder of psychoanalytic child psychology.[2] As her father put it, child analysis had received a powerful impetus through "the work of Frau Melanie Klein and of my daughter, Anna Freud".[3] Her work emphasized the importance of the ego and its ability to be trained socially.
