April 18, 2022 — Mourning and Melancholia Reconceived Developmentally through the lens of Klein, Bion, post-Bionian, and field theory
[19 pages]
As is Freud’s “Mourning and Melancholia,” Melanie Klein’s paper “Mourning and its Relation to Manic-Depressive States” is another classic paper. Margot Waddell, unlike Klein, Bion, and many post-Bionian writers makes Kleinian and Bionian thought more accessible. This chapter captures the processes of mourning, loss, and growth in late adolescents and adults using literature.
