The Anna Freud Foundation, a non-profit, tax-exempt trust, was founded some two decades ago for the primary purpose of raising funds in this country for the Hampstead Child-Therapy Course and Clinic in London. Established by Anna Freud in 1951, the Clinic has developed from a modest beginning into a multi-faceted institution, providing clinical and therapeutic services to children and adolescents; serving as a training center in child analysis for students from all over the world; and carrying on manifold research projects. One of the unique features of the Clinic is the fact that about 60 children are in psychoanalytic treatment; another is the system of indexing of clinical material, which provides access to the study of case histories with a minimum of time and effort. A “well-baby” clinic, a nursery school, and an educational unit for blind children are an integral part of the clinical, training, and research activities at Hampstead.

The annual budget of the Hampstead Child-Therapy Course and Clinic is about $275,000, three-quarters of which is raised in this country. Since its inception, Miss Freud has served as the Clinic's director without compensation.
