Taking as his starting point Melanie Klein's concept of the
paranoid-schizoid position, and succinctly reviewing subsequent
developments within the Kleinian perspective, the author formulates
a distinctive and subtle argument concentrated on the topic of
primitive loss. It is the author's conviction that the experience
of loss has a primacy within the paranoid-schizoid position but
that this has received insufficient and inadequate recognition,
with significant implications for analytic technique. With this
standpoint as his orienting focus, the author provides a
finely-textured and penetrating discussion of such issues as
projective identification, symbolization, transference and counter
transference. A thoughtful and perceptive examination of
theoretical issues is buttressed with substantial illustrative case
material throughout. Calling for further work to be done in
refining and clarifying the understanding of loss, and its
intrapsychic, interpersonal and technical ramifications, the
present volume represents a significant contribution and stimulus
to that task
