Dark-blue cloth with gilt-lettered spine, all volumes with dust-jacket (except vol. V). "The Psychoanalytic Study of the Child" appeared for the first time in 1945. Its opening-article was on "Genetic Approach in Psychoanalysis" by Heinz Hartmann and Ernst Kris. The journal enjoyed immediately a huge success and prestige, also because of its editors (a.o. Anna Freud, Ernst Kris and Heinz Hartmann - who had just immigrated to New York) and its contributors (a.o. Erik Erikson, Rudolph Loewenstein, Phyllis Greenacre, and Edward Glover). In 1945 the professional field of child psychoanalysis, especially in the USA, was ill-defined. The first volume contains several articles and declarations that base the psychoanalysis of children on the metapsychology of Sigmund Freud, as opposed to the (object-relations theory) teachings of Melanie Klein (whose name was rarely mentioned in the Journal, as was likewise Jacques Lacan). The relation of the Journal to research on child development was very limited. In the first volume it was expressed that research might become more central, but in practice, this intention was not fulfilled (apart from a few studies by the editors (as e.g. Anna Freud's diagnostic observations at the Hampstead Clinic and Ernst Kris's observations at Yale University). The Journal has maintained a high level of professionalism (although reservations can be made on its omissions) and it has succeeded to retain its influence throughout the years. In the first volume a.o. "Indications for Child Analysis" by Anna Freud, "Notes on the Analytical Discovery of a primary Scene" by Marie Bonaparte and "Childhood and Tradition in Two American Indian Tribes" by Erik Erikson. To quote but a few other articles: "Deliquency and Morality" by Bruno Bettelheim and Emmy Sylvester (Vol V); Anna Freud (who died in 1984)with "Assessment of Childhood Disturbances" (Vol XVII),"The Concept of Developmental Lines" (Vol XVIII), "About Losing and Being Lost" (Vol XXII), "The Symptomatology of Childhood: A preliminary Attempt at Classification" (Vol. XXV) and "The Infantile Neurosis: Genetic and Dynamic Considerations" (Vol XXVI); "Innate Inhibition of Aggressiveness in Infancy" by Benjamin Spock (Vol XX); The 19th volume (1964) was dedicated to Heinz Hartmann (who died in 1975) on his 70th birthday and the 23d volume (1968) to Willie Hoffer who died the year before. A few volumes with signature on flyleaf and volumes XXII and XXVI with an unobtrusive library stamp.Most of the dust-jackets with small damages, mainly on corners &c. Books themselves are fine and hardly any annotation. Volume I in 4th printing (1962). Each volume with contents of all preceding volumes. Some minor imperfections to some of the jackets. A fine set.
