Introducing Melanie Klein tells of Klein's pioneering work in child psychoanalysis. Although she was a devoted Freudian, many of her ideas were seen as highly controversial, and this led to heated conflicts, particularly with Freud's daughter, Anna.



Introducing Melanie Klein brilliantly explains Klein's ideas, and shows the importance of her startling discoveries which raised such opposition at the time and are only now being recognised for their explanatory power.
