Esti Freud, épouse de Martin, deuxième fils de Sigmund, est née à la fin du XIXe siècle dans la bourgeoisie viennoise. Elle a vu très jeune ses désirs contrariés par des interdits familiaux. En 1938, elle fuit l'arrivée des nazis, traverse l'Europe en guerre et se réfugie brièvement en France. Mais ce n'est qu'aux Etats-Unis, son dernier pays d'accueil, qu'elle trouvera un certain apaisement à travers des études et le succès de sa vie professionnelle en tant qu'orthophoniste. A l'aide de nombreux documents, lettres et témoignages, c'est à la fois la vie de sa mère et celles de toutes les femmes de sa lignée - sa grand-mère, ses tantes, sa fille - que retrace Sophie Freud dans cette biographie.

"Children are our future. We need to treat them with dignity and respect. In that spirit, Sophie Lovinger -- clinician, professor, and parent -- addresses the challenges of the child therapist who is committed to treating the patient, not the symptom. Dr. Lovinger describes the initial contact and the initial session and discusses intake, setting, play themes, and issues of differential emotional and cognitive development from birth through age 12. Then, as her psychodynamic perspective unfolds, she focuses on resistance, dreams, interpretation, transference, and countertransference -- the last so problematic in child therapy that there are few references to it in the literature. In keeping with her emphasis on connecting with the whole child, Dr. Lovinger seeks to engage the parents in the process of what she calls "at-home co-therapists." She makes a case for their informed participation to enhance and advance the therapy by establishing empathetic communications with their children and stretching the therapeutic milieu. Enriched with wonderful clinical material, this book sets a new standards. theoretical and practical, for the optimal treatment of children." -- book jacket.
