The Introduction to the technique of child analysis is the most important work of Anna Freud and fundamental for psychoanalytic collaboration with children, adolescents, and parents.

It presents key positions: on deep psychotherapy through play, on the relationship between therapy and the child's family environment, and on the role of therapists and 'transference'.

These are texts with clarity of meaning and high scientific value despite their disarming simplicity.

The book also includes an Introduction to the life and work of Anna Freud by her collaborator, Prof. Dr. Gerd Biermann.
