In the fall of 1925, Anna met two women that would become very important figures in her life. The first of these women was Dorothy T. Burlingham who was a mother of one of Anna's patients. After Anna agreed to work with her son, Bob, Dorothy moved from America to Vienna. She brought her children - Mary (Mabee), Katrina and Michael. She was married, but her husband suffered from a mental illness that she felt was affecting her children. Anna became deeply attached to this family and to Dorothy. By the end of the year all of the Burlingham children were under Anna's care. This presented a problem for Anna since she was vicariously trying to be a mother to these children.
