On This Day:
Friday January 10, 2014 This is the 10th day of the year, with 355 days remaining in 2014. Fact of the Day: Anna Freud Sigmund Freud was not the only Freud involved in psychology. His youngest daughter, Anna Freud (1895-1982), also had a long and very successful career in the same field. She was the founder and one of the foremost practitioners of child psychoanalysis. Her life was dedicated to her famous father and her work picked up where his left off after his death. Marilyn Monroe was a devotee of Freudian analysis and was one of Anna's patients. She had a few sessions with Anna in 1956, and left some of her estate to the Anna Freud Center.
