The 79th Oral History Workshop, “Anna Freud Revisited,” will address four topics: 1) The postwar trajectory of Anna Freud’s theoretical and clinical thinking, as illustrated in the 16 papers she published in “The Psychoanalytic Study of the Child” between 1945 and 1965; 2) The evolution of Anna Freud’s child analysis clinical practice, and her growing recognition that some children require a developmental approach in the therapeutic situation; 3) The pedagogical and theoretical legacy of the Hietzing School, founded by Anna Freud and Dorothy Burlington, is explored through the writings of Erik Erikson, who taught at the school; 4) A retrospective account of the experience, and enduring influence, of undergoing the four-year child analysis training program at the Hampstead Clinic under the aegis of Anna Freud. In addition, the Director of the Freud Museum (London) will discuss the recently re-designed Anna Freud exhibit. Audio CDs: 3 | | Audio CD | | $40.00 | | $40.00 | |

To psychoanalysts as well as neuroscientists the neurological base of psychic functioning, particularly concerning the topic of trauma and dreaming is of special interest. In the first part of this paper neurobiological changes occurring in the course of two years of psychoanalytic psychotherapy of a severely traumatized, chronic depressed patient are traced by a recognition experiment of memories of dreams related to an underlying conflict and depicted in fMRI. In the second part a dream series of the same patient elicited partially in psychoanalytic treatment and partially in a sleep laboratory are traced for changes in a clinical and experimental psychoanalytic manner. The results of both fields of research are discussed. Audio CDs: 1 | | Audio CD | | $18.00 | | $18.00 | |
