On the occasion of her 128th birthday, the Freud Museum will honour Anna Freud’s pioneering work and legacy with two special lectures by Dr Inge Pretorius and Dr Susanne Hommel.
Anna Freud’s pioneering work in early intervention and prevention
Anna Freud’s pioneering legacy in parent-infant psychotherapy
Professionals from all over the world travelled to the Anna Freud Centre in Maresfield Gardens to learn from this expertise. As a consequence Anna Freud’s legacy has become established all over the world. Her understanding of the early parent-infant relationship informs not only the Psychoanalytic Parent-Infant Psychotherapy practised today, but also the growing field of Infant Mental Health.
Tickets include admission to the Museum. The event is free for Freud Museum Members and Patrons. The event will be held on the first floor of the Museum during regular opening hours. Unfortunately the Freud Museum does not have step-free access at this time. Advance booking is highly recommended as capacity is limited.
Concessions/Members/Patrons: Please show proof of eligibility/membership card on arrival.
The purpose of this event is to raise funds for the Freud Museum London, which receives no regular public income.
