Product Description

Review
Remarkable...ÝGrosskurth skillfully handles a wide range of source materials...Much of the book's power comes from Mrs. Grosskurth's access to Melanie Klein's own, unpublished autobiography, which evokes a haunting and recurrent question about the status of psychoanalytic knowledge: the question of the unanalyzed analyst...The analytic movement perpetuates myths about the successful analyses of its founder and major theorists. Phyllis Grosskurth's new biography explodes such simple myths, forcing us to ask once again if the status of psychoanalytic theory is challenged by the vulnerability of psychoanalysts. But is also provides rich new materials for thinking through this problem. It testifies to the courage if not the calm of a woman who drew on her own unresolved suffering to bring other analysts face to face with the 'witches of the night.' -- Sherry Turkle "New York Times Book Review"

Product Description
Probes the life of a pioneering twentieth-century psychoanalyst, theorist, and practitioner who introduced to psychoanalysis her own innovative therapy and subsequently challenged Freud and other leading experts in spite of her own continuing tragedy anddespair.
