Opis

Begins with integration of Kleinian and Winnicottian theory from their contrasting, but also complementary, dialectical perspectives with some studies of Melanie Klein's psychobiography. This volume shows that Klein's theories of mourning interact with Winnicott's theories on object survival; potential and transitional space; and the true self.
