The [[notion]] of child analysis first appeared in the [[work]] of Melanie [[Klein]], in the [[sense]] that she first provided an extensive definition that is both [[theoretical]] and [[practical]]. The pioneers in the field include Sándor Ferenczi, who contributed still-original [[ideas]] on the confusion of tongues between [[adult]] and child, as well as his account of the treatment of Little Arpad, and Alfred Adler, one of the first practitioners of child analysis in [[Vienna]].
Hermine von Hug-Hellmuth was one of the first child [[psychoanalysts]] to use play techniques, but it was only with Klein that the notion of [[transference]] and the [[idea]] of [[psychoanalytic treatment]] for children appeared. This perspective placed her in sharp opposition to Anna [[Freud]], who believed that transference did not really [[exist]] for children owing to the [[parents]]' [[place]] in the child's life. In contrast, Klein used [[The Transference|the transference ]] for the "deep" [[interpretation]] of [[hate]] and [[envy]]. This controversy [[left]] its imprint on the evolution of [[psychoanalysis]] in Great [[Britain]] and led to the creation of the Independent group, which consistently upheld the importance of [[childhood]] development.
In relation to adult psychoanalysis, child psychoanalysis occupies an indeterminate [[position]] that is both peripheral and central, and that is reflected in debates [[about]] the various modes of psychoanalytic [[training]] throughout the [[world]]. It is peripheral in that not all adult [[analysts]] have the inclination or training to work with children, and not all psychoanalytic societies require that their candidates have specific training or even [[knowledge]] of the elements of mental development. It is central in that the fundamental concepts of psychoanalysis are summed up in the child: [[infantile]] [[sexuality]], transference, the [[unconscious]], [[resistance]], [[repetition]], the [[drives]], and interpretation. The [[case]] of Little [[Hans]], described by [[Sigmund Freud]] in "Analysis of a [[Phobia]] in a Five-Year-Old Boy" (1909b) is a [[good]] example of this, even though the treatment was essentially based on observations and exchanges between Hans and his parents, in a sort of precursor to treatment proper.
