This book demonstrates Klein's work in devising the techniques of child analysis. She made treatment of young children possible and threw light on psychological development in childhood and on the roots of adult neuroses and psychoses. Here she describes the theory and practice of her method.
A new edition of Melanie Klein's account of her analysis of a 10-year old boy, previously published by Hogarth Press in 1961 and Virago in 1989. Klein describes the day-to-day course of the analysis, interpreting drawings, play, verbal associations and reports of dreams, thus providing a guide to the technique of psychoanalysing children.
