Description
The Narrative of a Child: A Psychoanalytic Case Study by Melanie Klein. This book presents a detailed account of the psychoanalysis of a ten year old boy, Richard. Through his drawings, play, verbal associations and reports of dreams, Klein interprets the patient's inner world and reveals the dynamics of the treatment process. The case study is accompanied by reproductions of the patient's drawings, which are analyzed in depth. The book offers a unique insight into the technique of psychoanalyzing children, as Klein links the clinical material to more theoretical conclusions. This fascinating case study provides a valuable guide for anyone interested in psychoanalysis and child development.
