Psychoanalysis is a science evidently fore-ordained to growth and
expansion, and among those who have extended the scope of both
theory and practice Melanie Klein holds a unique place.This book is
a survey of the developments in psychoanalytical knowledge
resulting from her work. Her main discoveries relate to the very
early phases of mental life. She recognized that the world of
unconscious feeling and impulse (which we call 'phantasy') is the
effective source of all human actions and reactions, modified
though they are when translated into actual external behaviour or
conscious thought. Although Freud first enunciated this truth,
which originates in his fundamental discovery of the unconscious
mind of man, he left many problems still unsolved. These have been
brought nearer to a solution through Melanie Klein's consistent
awareness of the significance of unconscious phantasy. Not only
students of psychoanalysis and workers in related medical fields
but also practising child-psychologists and the informed lay public
will find this book of absorbing interest.
