The Kleinian Development

Part I is devoted to a chronological examination of Freud's major clinical papers. Part II undertakes a week-by-week investigation of Klein's 'The Narrative of a Child Analysis' as the basis of a critical examination of her work. Part III builds on this foundation, in order to scrutinize Bion's contributions.
