ABSTRACT
The six years from 1927 when Susan Isaacs left the Malting House School till 1933 when she was appointed Head of the newly formed Department of Child Development at the University of London Institute of Education were intensely active ones, largely occupied in a tremendous output of very significant writing and in undertaking a fresh training for psycho-analytic work. It is also very widely read especially by teachers and students in colleges of education. Susan made many friends through her various educational and psycho-analytic spheres of work and among these friendships was a long standing one with Sir Percy Nunn, then Director of the University Of London Institute Of Education. The main course of lectures in Child Development were always given to fairly large audiences which included students from University College. She had added to her teaching commitments by undertaking the course in normal child psychology given at the London School of Economics to training to be psychiatric social workers.
