My Kleinian Home by Nini Herman
Fully revised, and including a new chapter, this is a welcome new edition of a psychoanalytic classic. The extraordinary autobiography of a woman who has had Jungian, Freudian and Kleinian analyses, My Kleinian Home depicts Nini Herman's life as an odyssey full of familial, historical and personal distress. She bravely and honestly discusses her experiences as a German Jew in the 1930s, the death of a child, and her constant search for the resolution of her childhood traumas, and brings an unusual clarity to the assumptions and experience of Kleinian psychoanalysis.
'A profoundly moving accountI found myself completely absorbed in this life in which past horrors are integrated into future hope.'- Phyllis Grosskurth, author of Melanie Klein: Her World and Her Work'Nini Herman has done a great service by giving her own private account of her experiences of a variety of therapies both as a patient and as a therapist. This unique book is an enduring resource for those who want to get their bearings in the world of psychotherapy, and to gain an initial understanding of what the experience of being in therapy can offer.'- R.D. Hinshelwood, author of A Dictionary of Kleinian Thought and Therapy or Coercion?
