Psychopathology is the study of psychological disorders and disturbances, their origins and treatment. Although sometimes used in a psychoanalytical context, it can also refer to the work of psychiatrists and neurologists. url anchor

Treatment. There are a number of different forms of treatment for psychological disorders, reflecting the wide range of backgrounds of those working with patients. Clinical psychologists might use behaviour therapy or cognitive-behaviour therapy. Psychoanalysts draw upon methods such as dream analysis, or (with children), play therapy. Psychiatrists are trained in the use of physically-based therapies such as drug treatment (though they might also make use of any of the above treatments, if trained in their use). For further information on these different approaches, see perspectives on PSYCHOANALYSIS, PSYCHIATRY, NEUROPSYCHOLOGY. url anchor

Note Node Anna and her parents fled from Vienna to London in 1938 to escape Nazi persecution and after the dea th of her father in the following year she continued her work with children in need of psychological help. url anchor

Note Node By 1925 she had become Secretary of the Vienna Psychoanalytic Training Institute and in the late 1920s her working life was divided between working with children and supervising the training of would-be analysts. She taught the child analysis seminar and an applied analysis course in Psychoanalytic Pedagogy which was also attended by Viennese schoolteachers and social workers. url anchor

Note Node She remained broadly faithful to her father's ideas, however she became more interested in the dynamics of the psyche than in its structure. Specifically, she developed Sigmund Freud's notion of the ego, in particular the part it plays in the defence mechanisms. A significant point in her thinking on this subject was the publication of The Ego and the Mechanisms of Defence in 1937. url anchor

Note Node Anna Freud was born in Vienna in 1895, the youngest of Sigmund and Martha Freud's six children. She was the only member of the family to follow in her father's footsteps and the whole of her working life was devoted to psychoanalysis. url anchor

Note Node In 1952 Anna Freud and her psychoanalytic colleagues established the Hampstead Child Therapy Clinic, using financial contributions from many supporters, particularly in the US. It quickly established a good reputation in London and further afield for its services for neurotic and disturbed children, with a particular interest in children who were blind; by 1955 there were 60 children in analysis at the Clinic. url anchor

Note Node Anna Freud died in 1982. In 1986 her Hampstead home opened as the Freud Museum. url anchor

Note Node With a fellow psychoanalyst, Dorothy Burlingham, she established the Hampstead War Nursery to meet the needs of children whose lives had been disrupted by the war. The nursery, which provided foster care for over eighty children, was run according to psychoanalytic principles. Unlike the typical residential nurseries of that era the Hampstead nursery encouraged the parents to play as full a part as possible in the lives of their children. url anchor

Note Node As a young woman she became his secretary, companion and pupil and in 1922 she began to practice as a psychoanalyst and became an active member of the International Psychoanalytical Association. url anchor

Note Node By the mid 1930s Anna combined the roles of secretary, nurse and aide to her father who was by then in his early 80s and in failing health. She was also regarded by many as the obvious successor as the leader of the psychoanalytic movement on the strength of her writing and her clinical practice. url anchor

Note Node The 'ego psychology' movement which grew out of this work was significant in that it encouraged the applications of Freudian theory beyond psychopathology and into the territories of developmental and social psychology. url anchor

Note Node The Clinic continued to be the leading centre for psychoanalytic work with children in the UK and the training ground for many psychoanalytically oriented child psychologists. The present day Anna Freud Centre is a clinical, educational and research institution specialising in the psychological treatment of children and young people. url anchor
