Austrian psychoanalyst and writer Anna Freud was BOTD in 1895. Born in Vienna, the sixth and youngest child of psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud, she trained and worked as a teacher, and followed in her father’s footsteps by studying psychoanalysis. As Freud Sr battled cancer, Anna became his secretary and spokesperson, attending conferences in his place during the 1920s. She began her own practice in Vienna, focusing on child development, and publishing books and articles on the analysis of children. She formed a close personal and professional relationship with her former student Dorothy Burlingham, opening a school and later a nursery together. In 1935, she published her study The Ego and the Mechanisms of Defence, which became a foundational work in ego-theory. Following the Nazi invasion of Austria and her interrogation by the Gestapo, Anna and her family emigrated to England, settling in London and eventually taking British citizenship. Anna and Burlingham continued to research and publish studies of child development, establishing counselling for child survivors of the Holocaust, and undertook successful lecture tours in the United States. Anna never married or had children, leading to biographical speculation that she and Burlingham were lovers. She died in 1982, aged 86. Her London home is now the Freud Museum, dedicated to the life and work of the Freud family.
