Freud/Tiffany: Anna Freud, Dorothy Tiffany Burlingham and the 'best possible school'

With over 100 archival photographs and nine original, wide-ranging essays, 'Freud/Tiffany' brings to life the fascinating intersection of psychoanalysis and education.

Out of the cultural and political ferment of inter-war Vienna emerged the Hietzing School, founded in the 1920s by Anna Freud, the youngest daughter of Sigmund Freud, and Dorothy Tiffany Burlingham, the youngest daughter of the great American artist Louis Comfort Tiffany.

Anna Freud's story unfolds over three decades from her adolescence through the 1940s, as she and Dorothy Tiffany Burlingham leverage their hands-on research with children into educational innovations at the Hietzing School and beyond.

The Viennese psychoanalysts of the 1920s demonstrated a unique sensitivity to marginalized populations and to the impact of war, its threats and its aftermath, especially on the lives of children.
