Ferenczi's "A Little Chanticleer": a child's favorite song recall.
In response to the recent special issue of The American Journal of Psychoanalysis dedicated to Sándor Ferenczi's works, this article highlights his essay entitled, "A Little Chanticleer" as a first-of-its-kind legacy of a description of conscious and unconscious dynamics linked to a child's musical preferences in daily life. In addition to its historical value, Ferenczi's essay merits study from contemporary viewpoints on infant developmental research, including implications for treatment of adults. It is hoped that at least in the context of song recall Ferenczi's essay will gain its due recognition.
