The youngest of Sigmund and Martha Freud’s six children, Anna Freud was born in Vienna on December 3, 1895. Freud was estranged from her five siblings throughout her early years, particularly from Sophie, the sister she fought with her father for his attention. Freud’s parents frequently sent her to health camps throughout the summer to assist her in overcoming health issues, which may have included persistent eating disorders and despair. Freud was distant from her mother and much preferred her caregiver. Still, she was close to her well-known father.
