after the anschluss in 1938 the freuds fled vienna and came to london. freud himself was dying of cancer, so anna ran the household. anna had a professional disagreement with melanie klein, who had come to london much earlier, and was already established as a child psychologist. a series of 'controversial discussions' were held by the british psychoanalytical society. the discussions were about the training and the ideas of both parties. eventually agreement was reached that both 'schools' should co-exist inside the society. the society now has three training divisions: kleinian, freudian and independent.
