·     Hermine von Hug-Hellmuth’s real name is Hermine Hug von Hungestein

·     She first started showing interest in psychoanalysis of children in the 1910s which is before Anna Freud or Melanie Klein made names for themselves in the same field

·     Her name was not recorded much in official documents instead her name mostly occur in English schools that are designed to “cure the children” through games.

·     She published a book called  Tagebuch eines halbwüchsigen Mädchens von 11 bis 14 ½ Jahren which translate to Diary of a teenager aged 11 to 14 years and a half[MOU1] " to illustrates that Feud had the right view on infantile ie. The stages involved. She was called “Successful forger” becasse of it. Partly to complement her but she wasn’t satisfied with the title.

·     She also published a book called “A. Graf-Nolde” in 1988.

·     She was murdered by the son of her half-sister called Rudolph or Rolph on September 9, 1924. (bad translation?)

·     The Hug-Hellmuthienne research is about that of the “polymorphically perverse child”. She contributed many ideas alongside Freud in the research into psyanalysis of children.

·     They later devised a method involving ‘games’ such as drawing and study of words in an attempt to understand the unconscious minds of children. They would take the same results and apply it to adults though with some modifications.

·     “From the life of the soul of the child. The time of the game” 1913. This is an example of her research project that made her a pioneer in this field. The game is to test the subconscious of the child. They first observe children playing which give them lots of material to work with based on what they had observed. They then after observing would mark the behaviours as for instance “sadism”, “auto-sadism”, “autoeroticism”, “masochism” or “exhibitionism”. The label it based on the type of behavior drive she thinks it was seen in the child.

·     Later on, her work started to shift from the “perverse polymorphic” child’s thesis involving lots of sexual interpretations to that of child criminal or “psychopath” studies. Far different from the take that Freud intended to take.

·     She analyzed a letter from her nephew:

o  “I pushed my stick into a wasp nest, and I killed five of them. But one of the wasps came out and stung me in the arm, through the shirt. Now I have better appetite. Because I have a very good cook, it's my mom.”

o

"He betrays us a good part of his sexual curiosity and his sadism, which are expressed in the act of piercing the nest of wasps [...]. He reveals the desire he feels for his mother, and the witty wit with which he extorts her little dishes from her"
