  • Title: Peter Heller's a Child Analysis with Anna Freud: the significance of the case for the history of child psychoanalysis.
    Author: Midgley N.
    Journal: J Am Psychoanal Assoc; 2012 Feb; 60(1):45-70. PubMed ID: 22426067.
    Abstract:
    A Child Analysis with Anna Freud, a collection of Anna Freud's detailed case notes of her treatment of the young Peter Heller between 1929 and 1932, was first published in English in 1990. Not only does this work give us direct access to Anna Freud's ways of thinking and working at a crucial period in the early history of child analysis; it is also one of the few records of an adult reflecting in depth on the experience of being in analysis as a child. Yet to date this work has received little attention in the psychoanalytic literature. In an attempt to redress this neglect, the Heller case study is placed in the context of Anna Freud's emerging ideas about child analysis. In particular, its significance in the development of her psychoanalytic thinking is investigated in the light of her 1927 book, The Technique of Child Analysis.
