Product Description
Review
"Klein has been quoted but she has never, until Likierman's book been properly read. This book reveals with patient lucidity just what is fascinating about Klein as a psychoanalytic theorist. It recovers her work, in other words, from the sentimentality and moralism in which her so-called followers have buried her. Likierman's Klein is a Klein for a new generation of readers."-Adam Phillips, author of On Kissing, Tickling and Being Bored
Product Description
Melanie Klein remains one of the most important and influential figures in psychoanalysis. Klein pioneered the analysis of children and applied her insights on the infantile origins of unconscious drives to adult analysis.Meira Likierman's study is the best available introduction to Melanie Klein's thought and work.

Format:Hardcover
There is so little comprehensable material on this key psychologist that this new book is a welcome relief. Klein is a highly influential psychoanalyst and I think students and inquistive readers alike will find Meira Likierman's book readable, accessible and enjoyable.

Indispensable
18 Nov 2007
Format:Paperback
Meira Likierman provides an excellent companion book to anybody interested in the work and life of Melanie Klein. Likierman provides a lucid overeview of Klein's main theoretical views and concepts. More importantly, she puts Klein in perspective by providing the context within which Klein conceived her views and elaborated on them. Specifically, Likierman provides insights on Klein's life, as well as on how Klein was influenced by her mentors Ferenczi and Abrahams, how she differed to both Sigmund and Anna Freud and how her thought evolved over the years. Indispensable to anyone attempting to grasp Kleinian thought.
