Reading Anna Freud by Nick Midgley

Reading Anna Freud provides an accessible introduction to the writings of one of the most significant figures in the history of psychoanalysis.

"It is a well-researched and informative bookMidgley's writing is informal, reminiscent of Anna Freud's own style, which makes the book accessible to a range of audiences. ... For me the book can be best summed up by quoting directly from Midgley and his statement that the purpose of psychoanalytic research is 'not so much to assess the effectiveness of psychoanalytic therapy but, rather, to develop a deeper understanding of the workings of the mind and of human behaviour." - Jeanine Connor, Therapy Today (July 2013)

"Reading Anne Freud is less a work of criticism than a work of orientation, and doubly valuable as such."- Schuyler W. Henderson, Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, 2014

his comprehensive book, written in an academic style, is accessible and accomplishes its purpose: to remind the reader of Anna Freud’s contributions as a practitioner and teacher, theoretician and writer." -
