Melanie Klein The Basics

Melanie Klein The Basics

Melanie Klein: The Basics provides an accessible and concise introduction to the life and work of Melanie Klein whose discoveries advanced those of Freud and other analysts deepening our insight into the unconscious domain of psychology in human beings. Klein began her work by developing a method of psychoanalysis for children who suffer from anxiety and other often unrecognised conflicts which enabled understanding of those crucial early steps in the development of human mind and identity. Although she initiated one strand of clinical and theoretical developments many of her discoveries are well-regarded by other schools of psychoanalysis. The book contains four parts as well as further reading suggestions and a helpful glossary of key terms. Part I introduces Melanie Klein in the context of her life her early interest in psychoanalysis and her first discoveries; Part II takes up the development of her technique of child analysis and discusses the ways in which her insights and conclusions in this area influenced the technique of adult analysis and the more general understanding of the human mind; Part III focuses on further scientific and clinical developments in psychoanalytic technique – especially those referring to the understanding and treatment of serious emotional disturbance e. g. psychosis or affective disorders; Part IV focuses on contemporary developments in Kleinian and post-Kleinian psychoanalysis considering clinical cultural and socio-political applications. Each chapter poses a basic question at the outset provides an account of how Klein faced this question and worked with it to develop her ideas and ends by posing a follow up question to be addressed in the subsequent chapter. This book will greatly appeal to readers from any field seeking a clear and concise introduction to Melanie Klein. It will also interest researchers and professionals working within the field of psychoanalysis seeking a succinct overview of Melanie Klein’s contribution. | Melanie Klein The Basics

Calvin Meets Voltaire The Clergy of Geneva in the Age of Enlightenment 1685–1798

Calvin Meets Voltaire The Clergy of Geneva in the Age of Enlightenment 1685–1798

In 1754 Voltaire one of the most famous and provocative writers of the period moved to the city of Geneva. Little time passed before he instigated conflict with the clergy and city as he publicly maligned the memory of John Calvin promoted the culture of the French theater and incited political unrest within Genevan society. Conflict with the clergy reached a fever pitch in 1757 when Jean d’Alembert published the article ’Genève’ for the Encyclopédie. Much to the consternation of the clergy his article both castigated Calvin and depicted his clerical legacy as Socinian. Since then little has been resolved over the theological position of Calvin’s clerical legacy while much has been made of their declining significance in Genevan life during the Enlightenment era. Based upon a decade of research on the sources at Geneva’s Archives d'‰tat and Bibliothèque de Genève this book provides the first comprehensive monograph devoted to Geneva’s Enlightenment clergy. Examination of the social political theological and cultural encounter of the Reformation with the Enlightenment in the figurative meeting of Calvin and Voltaire brings to light the life work and thought of Geneva’s eighteenth-century clergy. In addition to examination of the convergence with the philosophes prosopographical research uncovers clerical demographics at work. Furthermore the nature of clerical involvement in Genevan society and periods of political unrest are considered along with the discovery of a ’Reasonable Calvinism’ at work in the public preaching and liturgy of Genevan worship. This research moves Geneva’s narrative beyond a simplistic paradigm of ’decline’ and secularization offers further evidence for a revisionist understanding of the Enlightenment’s engagement with religion and locates Geneva’s clergy squarely in the newly emerging category of the ’Religious Enlightenment. ’ Finally the significance of French policy from the Revocat | Calvin Meets Voltaire The Clergy of Geneva in the Age of Enlightenment 1685–1798

The Klein Tradition Lines of Development—-Evolution of Theory and Practice over the Decades

The Klein Tradition Lines of Development—-Evolution of Theory and Practice over the Decades

Melanie Klein's extension of Freud's ideas - in particular her explorations into the world of the infant and her emphasis on the complex interactions between the infant's internal world of powerful primitive emotions of love and hate and the mothering that the infant receives - were greeted with skepticism but are now widely accepted as providing an invaluable way of understanding human cognitive and emotional development. Klein's insights shed light on persecuted states guilt the drive to create and to repair; they also provide the clinician with a theory of technique. Klein's work has inspired the work of psychoanalysts around the world. Her concept of projective identification with its implications for the understanding of countertransference made a significant impact on her followers and on psychoanalysts in other countries and from other schools of thought. Further exploration of these ideas has led to greater understanding of how change occurs in psychoanalysis and has inspired a large literature with a particular focus on technique. | The Klein Tradition Lines of Development—-Evolution of Theory and Practice over the Decades

The Oedipus Complex Today Clinical Implications

The Oedipus Complex Today Clinical Implications

A collection of papers focusing on the Kleinian conception of the Oedipus complex how this is now understood and what effect it has had on clinical practice. The papers by the authors which form the greater part of The Oedipus Complex Today were originally given at the Melanie Klein Conference on the Oedipus Complex in September 1987 at University College London. The conference jointly organized by Professor J. Sandler of the Psychoanalysis Unit at University College and Mrs. Ruth Riesenberg-Malcolm on behalf of the Melanie Klein Trust was considered such a successful statement of modern Kleinian views on the subject that the Trust has decided to present the papers in book form together with an expanded version of the introduction by Dr Hanna Segal and also a reprint of Melanie Klein's 1945 paper 'The Oedipus Complex in the Light of Early Anxieties'. The three papers writes Dr Segal 'are based on central concepts first put forward by Mrs Klein. | The Oedipus Complex Today Clinical Implications

Married Life and its Vicissitudes A Therapeutic Approach

Married Life and its Vicissitudes A Therapeutic Approach

This book is about marital relations and its vicissitudes and the possible way of dealing with them through marital therapy. It reflects the importance of turning marital miscommunications into constructive communications between partners in order to improve their relationship. The psychoanalytic perspective plays a significant role in exploring the marital relationship through the partners' emotional interaction with each other and the effect that their personal emotional development has on their constructive and destructive attitudes. On some occasions other therapeutic models can be added to reinforce the therapeutic exploration and the possible therapeutic goal. The contributions of Freud and post-Freudians and later Melanie Klein and her followers enabled a deeper and wider view to better understand the emotional vicissitudes in marital interaction. A marital relation is an important unit that is placed between the individual and the family and is affected by social and cultural contexts. Beginning a marital relationship implies a significant move or change in the individual's development. | Married Life and its Vicissitudes A Therapeutic Approach
