This book aims to heighten the awareness of the emotional factors which enter into the process of learning and teaching. It is based on the work done by the authors with a group of teachers who attended the Tavistock Clinic for a course called Aspects of Counselling in education.

Melanie Klein has been one of the most important contributors to our thinking about human development and human personality. In this classic text, Isca Salzberger-Wittenberg demonstates through theoretical exposition and the use of case material the ways in which Melanie Klein's main concepts and theories illuminate the practice of social casework. These theories are often complex and controversial, but this concise and lucid account continues to enable social workers and others in helping professions to judge the relevance of the Kleinian approach for themselves.

First published in 1983. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.
