February 6, 2023 — Melanie Klein and her theories

[8 pages]

In the past few decades many Kleinian contributions have been valued by psychoanalysts. They are well summarized by the Melanie Klein Trust. Klein’s contributions are based on the belief that the infant has certain set patterns of understanding its experience, which persist into adult life in the form of unconscious fantasy, as described by Hinshelwood.

Melanie Klein Trust, Melanie Klein’s theories: https://melanie-klein-trust.org.uk/theory/

Hinshelwood, R.D. (2017) That Which is Not Represented – Or is it?: A Kleinian Perspective since the Controversial Discussions (1943). Rivista di Psicoanalisi 63:553-569

Read pages 553-561 only (up to “Trauma is Unrepresentable”).

Point of focus: As you look at Klein’s important contributions, such as projective identification, unconscious fantasy, or the paranoid/schizoid and depressive positions, do they feel connected to your clinical work? Can you think of examples from your practice?
