Essential Readings from the Melanie Klein Archives: Original Papers and Critical Reflections
Editat de Jane Miltonen Limba Engleză Hardback – 25 feb 2020
The book contains lectures, letters, notes and an autobiography by Klein, as well as key pieces of analysis on Klein’s work from major Kleinian analysts, with contributions from Claudia Frank, R.D. Hinshelwood, Jane Milton and Maria Rhode based on wide-ranging research into Klein’s archive. Bringing the work of Claudia Frank to an English audience for the first time, there is also a new chapter by Maria Rhode featuring further case material on Klein’s famous young patient ‘Dick’, the subject of Klein’s 1930 paper on symbolism, which is discussed in relation to current ideas about the autistic spectrum. This material fleshes out our understanding of Klein’s thinking, shines new light on the major features of her work, and the influences on the analyst herself.
Melanie Klein was a pioneering and sometimes controversial figure within psychoanalysis, whose new approach to child analysis and new understanding of our inner world were revolutionary. Her large archive (now available online) contains papers and drafts of papers, notes for lectures and seminars and a vast amount of case material, all of which is of scientific interest. Essential Readings from the Melanie Klein Archives will be of great interest to Klein scholars, as well as to researchers and readers in the wider history and development of psychoanalysis.

Recenzii
"The publication of this volume of papers from the Klein archive, together with critical discussion by notable Klein scholars, is a most exciting event.Every chapter is of interest, not only for its historical significance, but also because Klein’s clinical and theoretical thinking is further explored in the excellent commentaries and related to later developments in psychoanalysis. I recommend it most warmly. It forms an essential and impressive part of the array of recent books about Klein which attest to the continuing fertility of her legacy." --Margaret Rustin, Honorary Consultant Child Psychotherapist, Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust, co-author of Reading Klein

"This volume adds significantly to our understanding of Melanie Klein, her thinking and her internal world. We see her as a child, powerless to prevent the losses inflicted on her family; longing for knowledge and for the power to reduce suffering. We learn of Klein’s early defiance, a hint of the powerful thinker whose radical ideas were later to spark fierce debate across the psychoanalytic world. We are shown too, a softer, more vulnerable and less certain Klein. Melanie Klein’s humanity shines out of the chapters in this book."
Penelope Garvey, Training Analyst British Psychoanalytical Society
"Milton's book is a remarkable collection of previously unpublished archival and research material – a substantial contribution to Kleinian scholarship. Through it we come to know Klein and her work far more deeply. Devoting her life to psychoanalysis, Klein struggled through challenging and dark times. But, by the end of her life, she knew that her work had been understood and would survive. This book is engaging and powerful; it is a complex account of Melanie Klein, a truly brilliant and creative innovator and leader in the psychoanalytic movement."
