Examines the work of Freud's successors. The lesson details the continuing influence of Freud's work in the study of child development in clinical practice and in such non-psychological areas as history and literature. Refinements to Freud's theories are discussed, including Anna Freud's theories on defense mechanisms. Distinctions are drawn between "ego psychologists" and practitioners of classical psychoanalysis.
