Envy and Gratitude and Other Works 1946-1963 by Melanie Klein

This collection of Melanie Klein's writings offers a unique insight into her groundbreaking neuroscientific research on infant development and psychosis. Spanning from 1946 to 1960, the book includes two papers published posthumously, providing a comprehensive overview of her major works.

Key to understanding Klein's theories is her concept of the paranoid-schizoid position, where the infant ego splits, projects, and introjects its objects, particularly the mother, during the first few months of life. Her later work, Envy and Gratitude, introduces her theory of primary envy, shedding light on the complex emotions and relationships that shape human development.
