The book begins with the integration of Kleinian and Winnicottian
theory from their contrasting, but also complementary, dialectical
perspectives with some studies of Melanie Klein s psychobiography.
In doing so, the book has particularly drawn on the biographical
research of Phyllis Grosskurth, who published a major biography of
Melanie Klein in 1988, quite a time after the briefer biography of
Hanna Segal. The other side of the Klein-Winnicott dialectic has
been addressed by drawing on two biographies of D. W. Winnicott,
with some minor references to the short biography of Brett Khar and
more vivid and detailed references to the extremely comprehensive
study of F. Robert Rodman (2004). The latter part of the volume
provides clinical illustrations of the integration of Kleinian and
Winnicottian theories. This book s theory and clinical
illustrations serve to demonstrate how Melanie Klein s theories and
D. W. Winnicott s theories work together. This volume of study
shows that Klein s theories of mourning interact with Winnicott s
theories on object survival; potential and transitional space; the
true self; and developmental vs. narcissistic mirroring. This is
exemplified in clinical cases, as well as in psychobiographical
cases of women writers."
