Wandlerin zwischen den Welten

Anneliese Schnurmann belongs to the first generation of Anna Freud’s coworkers in the war nurseries and psycho-analytical child experts, as pediatric analytical training was called, which were established by Anna Freud. Although Anneliese Schnurmann later completed a training at the British Psychoanalytical Institute as an adult psychoanalyst, she remained a lifelong follower of Anna Freud’s concept. This might be due the fact that she had found a replacement homeland as had many emigrants from Germany and Austria in the circle around Anna Freud. Even during her time in Berlin, Anneliese Schnurmann, who was befriended with the Bonhoeffer family, established the “Jugendstube Charlottenburg” (Youth Home Charlottenburg) for unemployed youth, together with Dietrich Bonhoeffer.
