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 marginalised populations and to the impact of war, its threats and its aftermath, especially on the lives of children. The book features never-before-seen historical photographs, including four of Sigmund Freud, as well as unpublished archival material and original paintings. Drawings, manuscripts and memoirs make vivid the founders’ vision of the Hietzing School’s origins, its day-to-day experience and its enduring significance for our understanding of education and the developing mind.Marking the first publication of many of the historic materials originally showcased in 2017 at a major Freud Museum London exhibition, the international scholarship behind Freud/Tiffany demonstrates that the Hietzing School remains the seedbed for a surprising range of modern theory and practice in child and adolescent mental health, from Erik Erikson’s lifespan model of 'identity' to the legal concept of 'the best interests of the child'. The Freud and Tiffany legacies are now brought together as never before in this lively book, and the Hietzing School is restored to its rightful place in the history of so many ideas with which we are still working today. The book is essential for any reader interested in the cultural legacy of interwar Vienna.

Jack Woodfield had it all; brains, brawn, and sightly bulges. But this modern, vaguely metrosexual man hails from a long line of hunky barrow boys who pawned their principles in exchange for the perfect six-pack, selling their souls to the family's mysterious familiar in the process. Despite this Jack had ditched West Ham United, Barking market, and especially his belligerent brother Jamie; any gossip about ancient uncles and their paranormal paramours was cobblers as far as Jack was concerned.But over Jack's shoulder lurked his hell-raising cousin, Hayden 'the lad' Woodfield, the willing slave of that mysterious familiar, Minty Hardcore; her predilection for rough trade seems set to screw up Jack's prospects for promotion and a cosmopolitan, politically correct life rather royally... And now the worst has happened. Back in Barking something has taken posh totty Tiffany Grieve, Jamie's girlfriend, and taken her in the worst possible way, flinging her headlong into Jack's arms. Jamie has fled, betrayed by brother and girlfriend both. Even their Aunt Amanda, former tarot reader to Ronnie Kray, has been removed from the board, her Bethnal Green home abandoned and empty. So too have Jack's friends from the LSE fled, knowing perhaps more about matters than they ought. 'Taking Tiffany' continues the story started in 'Jack and the Lad', spanning the sordid underbelly of high society's debutante culture in the 18th century, the tyranny of the Kray Twins in swinging 60s Bethnal Green, before slamming on the brakes to explode in present-day Barking and the City of London's Square Mile.
