Melanie Klein and Marcelle Spira: Their Correspondence and Context
includes 45 letters Melanie Klein wrote to the Swiss psychoanalyst
Marcelle Spira between 1955 and 1960, as well as six rough drafts
from Spira. They were discovered in Spira's library after her death
in 2006. As only a few of the letters that Klein wrote to her
colleagues have been preserved, this moving, historically important
correspondence sheds new light upon the last five years of Klein's
creative life. The common theme of the letters is their discussion
of the French translation of The Psycho-Analysis of Children by
Boulanger in collaboration with Spira. The translation, first
undertaken by Lacan, went through many ups and downs until it was
published in 1959 by the Presses Universitaires de France. Klein
also discusses her current work, in particular Envy and Gratitude
(1957). She encourages her pioneering Swiss colleague Spira to be
patient in the face of the resistance shown towards Kleinian
thinking. Identifying herself to some extent with her younger
follower, Klein reveals a very touching autobiographical account of
the difficulties that she herself had encountered in her work and
how she overcame them. In Melanie Klein and Marcelle Spira: Their
Correspondence and Context, Jean-Michel Quinodoz brings together
these important letters. This rare collection of their
correspondence is a valuable contribution to the history of
psychoanalysis and will be essential reading for psychoanalysts,
trainee psychoanalysts and lay readers with an interest in the work
of Klein and Spira.
