Zur Frühanalyse (1923; in English, Early Analysis) is an early paper by Melanie Klein, published in Imago, on the part anxiety plays in children's inhibitions and sublimations. Klein argues that ordinary activities such as speaking, playing, moving and learning acquire a symbolic, libidinal meaning for the child. When anxiety becomes attached to that meaning, the activity is inhibited; when the anxiety is worked through in analysis, the activity is freed and can become a sublimation.
