Anna Freud was a pioneer in the application of the principles of psychoanalysis to children’s education and welfare, and the founder of the Hampstead Child Therapy Course and Clinic (renamed the Anna Freud Centre following her death). In this three-hour course, we will examine her turbulent relationship with her father, her personal psychoanalysis with him, and the writings which established her own lasting place in the history of psychoanalysis. We will also explore the legacy of her work with children, which continues to this day.
All registrants will receive their link to join via ZOOM. Course material will be sent 1 day before the event. Time includes a tea break. All attendees will also receive access to the recording, available to watch back for 1 month.
Tutor:
Keith Barrett BA PhD received his first degree in philosophy from Oxford University after having spent three years working as a nursing assistant in psychiatric hospitals. It was in this practical context that Keith first encountered existentialism and psychoanalysis. He then began postgraduate studies on both Freud and Heidegger, leading finally to a PhD from the Wellcome Centre for the History of Medicine at UCL for a dissertation on ‘Freud’s Self-Analysis’. Keith has been a philosophy teacher for over 20 years, and has been delivering courses at the Freud Museum for over a decade, where he has developed a series of introductory lectures on Freud, psychoanalysis after Freud, and exploring the overlap of philosophy and psychoanlaysis.
