Annie Anzieu è mancata il 10 novembre. Nata in Francia nell’aprile del 1924,  si laurea in filosofia e psicologia a Parigi alla fine della seconda guerra mondiale.
Nel 1947  a Parigi dove vivranno, sposa  Didier Anzieu, psicoanalista noto per aver approfondito la tematica dell’autoanalisi in Freud negli anni ’50 ed elaborato il concetto di Io-pelle negli anni ’80. Hanno avuto due figli Christine, anche lei psicoanalista, e Pascal.
Nel 1958, Annie che lavorava come logopedista infantile all’ospedale Salpêtrière di Parigi, fonda insieme al professor Daniel Widlöcher il Dipartimento di psicoterapia infantile di cui è stata per molti anni  responsabile e dedicato il suo tempo alla formazione di molti psicoterapeuti infantili.
È stata  in analisi con Georges Favez ed è diventa analista con funzioni di training della Association Psychanalytique de France, fondata nel 1964.
Nel 1984 viene nominata Presidente dell’Associazione per la Psychanalyse de l’Enfant -APE,  da  lei fondata insieme a Florence Guignard. Nel 1994 entrambe hanno esteso a livello europeo l’APE che è diventata la Société Européenne pour la Psychanalyse de l’Enfant et de l’ Adolescent- SEPEA di cui Annie lo stesso anno è diventata vicepresidente.

l’IPA, con l’apporto di  Anne Marie Sandler di cui Annie era molto amica, crea il Committee on Child and Adolescent Psychoanalysis- COCAP, che contribuisce al riconoscimento degli psicoanalisti infantili in tutto il mondo. COCAP la nomina, insieme ad altri colleghi europei, analista con funzioni di training dell’IPA nell’ambito della psicoanalisi infantile e dell’adolescenza.

Nelle sue pubblicazioni sull’analisi del bambino, Annie Anzieu ha sottolineato il ruolo delle relazioni corporee (body relations) e degli involucri psichici nel rapporto madre bambino assieme alla necessità di definire gli affetti. Ha pubblicato inoltre numerosi lavori sulla sessualità femminile. Nel suo libro “La femme sans qualités”, ha affermato che la psiche femminile risente delle rappresentazioni dell’interno del suo corpo e della sua ricettività.

Thanks to Anne Marie Sandler, her very good friend, the IPA created the Committee On Child and Adolescent Psychoanalysis (COCAP), that had helped to recognize child psychoanalysts around the world. COCAP elected Annie Anzieu among other European colleagues as Training Analysts in Child and Adolescent Psychoanalysis of the IPA.

Among her publications about child analysis, she emphasized the role of the body relations and psychic envelopes between mother and child, and the major needs to label affects.

In addition she published about women sexuality. In her book “La femme sans qualités”, she claimed that a woman’s psyche is influenced by representations of her body’s interior and receptivity.

She left a footprint in the psychoanalytic world for the treatment of child, adolescent and women.
