ABSTRACT

Anna Freud ended up as her father’s leading disciple. By the time of her death in 1982, no one was able to challenge the extent to which she had come to symbolize the profession of psychoanalysis. She had not only continued to live in the house Freud died in—which has now become the Freud Museum, in Hampstead, England—but she exercised special power by virtue of her control over Freud’s literary remains.
