Traces the development of Melanie Klein's ideas within a biographical framework, describing the importance of her work, and portraying her as a woman of warmth and insight.

Melanie Klein (1882-1960) was a pioneer of child analysis whose work with children enabled her to gain insight on the deepest states of the mind and thus to make a fundamental contribution to psychoanalytic theory.

Klein's...
