This book presents Freud's writings that initiated a new way of understanding the child’s psychic world, set against the cultural backdrop of early 20th-century Europe, where the 'innocence' of children was an untouchable dogma. Some of these writings have become classics, sparking curiosity and interest beyond the realm of specialists, such as "Little Hans" (1919) and "The Wolf-Man" (1914). It includes other essays like "The Sexual Education of Children" (1907) and "Childhood Sexual Theories" (1908), allowing readers to gain a comprehensive view of the child’s psychic world. This extensive overview of psychoanalytic thought on the issues of child psychic development is essential for parents, educators, and teachers who wish to understand the complex and rich world of children.
