title: [The beginnings of child analysis].
abstract: The notions hitherto existing of the beginnings of child analysis have to be rectified. The meaning of childhood neuroses within the scope of scientific theory, i.e. the sexual genesis of the neuroses can no longer be maintained. The approach of distinguishing between the latent period and the Oedipus complex as the two phases of sexual development can nowadays be considered to be refuted. The personality of the first children's analyst--Hermine Hug-Hellmuth--needs to be redescribed. She fell victim to her father-transference and deceased murdered by her nephew with the help of whom she had satisfied her own scientific ambitions.
