Melanie Klein by Penelope Garvey

Melanie Klein by Penelope Garvey

This important book provides a concise introduction to Melanie Klein and the key concepts and theories she founded, outlining their application to psychoanalytic technique, and explaining how her ideas have been further developed.

'It is the depth and clarity of this account of the work of Melanie Klein that will impress professional analysts, psychotherapists, as well as the curious general readerThey will find readily accessible descriptions and explanations of many of the basic concepts of psychoanalysis - internal objects, splitting, projective identification, introjection, and pathological organisations, and learn how important processes such as mourning lead to changes in the super-ego which enable arrested development to resume.

Even experienced psychoanalyst will be impressed to find old concepts presented in new ways, often amply illustrated with clinical material, sometimes from Klein and sometimes from Garvey’s own work.

This book is a major contribution to the definition of Klein’s place among the pioneers of psychoanalysis.'
