Description
Herbert Rosenfeld's work has been largely overlooked until now. This Contemporary Introduction brings together his most significant publications from 1947 to 1987, as well as later edited versions of his clinical seminars. Robert Hinshelwood provides a clear overview of how Rosenfeld applied Melanie Klein's theories on schizoid mechanisms and psychotic psychodynamics to working with patients experiencing psychosis. Hinshelwood explores the evolution of Rosenfeld's ideas in relation to psychotic states and other forms of disturbance. This book will be of interest to psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, students, mental health workers, and anyone looking to understand Rosenfeld's approach to treating these conditions. By examining Rosenfeld's work, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the development of Kleinian ideas and their application in clinical practice.
