Format:Paperback
Better to buy the straight Klein texts, Envy and Gratitude and Love Guilt and Reparation. Mitchell's comments don't add much. If you want analysis of Klein read Liekerman. Its brilliant.

A SUPERB COLLECTION
3 July 2000
Format:Paperback
Since buying the complete Collected Works of Melanie Klein would be rather expensive (and not as readily available as this book), this is the next best thing. This one offers all of the very essential Kleinian works, including the Early Stages of the Oedipus Conflict (in which she very daringly challenges Freud's views on the topic, and two papers on manic-depression, which are classics and have still not been equaled even to this day. This book is a great choice for anyone interested in psychology, regardless of their orientation or affiliation.

compact collection of Klein's ideas
27 May 2000
Format:Paperback
The book itself represents a valuable compilation of some of Klein's seminal ideas; however, I found myself angered by her irresponsible and intellectually dishonest use of her own children as supposed case examples. I also regard the death drive concept shared by her and Freud as the ether of depth-psychological thought.
