A friend of mine (hi Barb) is interested in psychoanalysis and she sent me
another link on the topic. Her favourite psychoanalyst- and
recent object of study- is someone called Melanie Klein. This site
gives some information on her theories, and also gives a nice sense of the
wild
and wooly nature of psychoanalytic theories in general. It’s heady stuff.
This
site discusses object relations theory more generally, and also
has a short bio on Klein, containing this amusing quote:
“Karen Horney placed her children in psychoanalysis with Klein to assist
their growth and concluded that it did no good. Her daughters were
confused and puzzled. Klein was always talking about penis envy and such
things. Later Klein moved away from Freud.”
