Profile

Daughter of Sigmund Freud, Anna Freud was an Austrian-born British psychiatrist who is considered a founder of child psychiatry. She called repression the principal human defense mechanism, giving a strong, new impetus to the role of ego in psychology. She and her terminally ill father escaped Nazi-dominated Austria for London in 1938. She co-wrote three books on the effects of war on children.
