The article discusses how two famous psychologists, Anna Freud and Melanie Klein, had different views on transference in child analysis. They disagreed because they didn't always define their terms clearly and didn't realize their definitions were different. Both Freud and Klein had more complex views on transference than expected, reflecting different ways of describing child development and personality formation.
