Description
Melanie Klein: The Basics provides a concise introduction to the life and work of Melanie Klein, whose discoveries advanced those of Freud and other analysts, deepening our understanding of the unconscious domain of psychology in human beings.
Klein's work began with the development of a method of psychoanalysis for children, who suffer from anxiety and other, often unrecognised, conflicts, which enabled understanding of crucial early steps in the development of the human mind and identity. This book explores her technique, its influence on adult analysis, and its relevance to the understanding of serious emotional disturbance.
Divided into four parts, the book also includes further reading suggestions and a glossary of key terms, making it a valuable resource for those interested in psychoanalysis and its applications.
