The idea of childhood psychoanalysis, specifically the appropriate age for starting analysis with young children, became a contentious issue between Melanie Klein and Anna Freud during the 1920s and 1930s. Klein believed in starting analysis with children as young as two or three years old, while Freud argued that children should not begin analysis until they were older and better able to communicate verbally.
