Around Town: Isolation is dangerous at every age
By Pat Orr
For the Victorville Daily Press
Anna Freud, daughter Sigmund Freud, father of psychoanalysis, began studying the effects of loneliness and isolation on children during the Spanish Civil War in 1936. Soon she had a much bigger subject base as the German War Machine began bombing England in late 1939.
It was then that concerned parents began removing children from high-target areas like London and “resettling” them in the countryside. Eventually, many children were sent to America to be fostered and cared for as it was believed that an invasion of England by the Nazis was imminent.
