According to Anna Freud, the [[superego]] originates in the [[mechanism]] of [[identification]] with the aggressor, as the child mimics and then [[identifies]] with the [[aggressive]] criticisms of its [[parents]] in such a way as to allow the [[ego]] to perceive its own faults.
[[Anna Freud]]'s theory of child development is based uppon the view that there is a normal sequence of [[libidinal]] phases ([[oral]], [[anal]] and [[genital]]) and that a [[child]] who is going to be a [[harmonious]] [[personality]] should, at each [[stage]] of [[Libidinal Development|libidinal development]], reach a corresponding stage of emotional maturity, phsical independence, companionship and creative play.
Anna began [[school]] in 1901, later on Anna would say that she didn’t learn much in school but all the more from her father and his guests at home. This way she picked up [[languages]] as Hebrew, [[German]], [[English]], [[French]] and Italian. At the age of 15, she started [[reading]] her father’s work. At a young age she started to tell her father her [[dreams]] and he would publish [[them]] in his book [[Interpretation]] of Dreams. Anna finished her education at the Cottage Lyceum in Vienna in 1912. [[Suffering]] from a depression, she was very insecure [[about]] what to do in the [[future]]. Subsequently, she went to Italy to stay with her grandmother.
In 1914, she started teaching at her old school, the Cottage Lyceum. In 1918 her father started [[psychoanalysis]] on her and she became seriously involved with this new [[profession]]. Her [[analysis]] was completed in 1922 and thereupon she presented the paper ''"Beating [[Fantasies]] and daydreams"'' to the Vienna [[Psychoanalytical]] [[Society]], subsequently becoming a member. In 1923 she began her own psychoanalytical [[practice]] with [[children]] and two years later she was teaching at the Vienna Psychoanalytic [[Training]] Institute on the [[technique]] of [[Child Analysis|child analysis]]. From 1927 until 1934 she was the General Secretary of the [[International Psychoanalytical Association]] while she continued child analysis and [[seminars]] and conferences on the [[subject]]. In 1935 Anna became director of the Vienna Psychoanalytical Training Institute and in the following year she published her influential study of the "ways and means by which the ego wards off [[displeasure]] and anxiety", ''The Ego and the Mechanisms of [[Defence]]''. It became a founding work of [[ego psychology]] and established Anna’s reputation as a pioneering theoretician.
