Love, Guilt and Reparation and Other Works 1921-1945
(The Writings of Melanie Klein, Vol. 1)

Hardback and Paperback

The earlier papers of this book reveal Klein's preoccupation with the impact of infant anxieties upon child development. The later papers on the psychogenesis of manic depressive states and on the Oedipus complex introduce a new theory of the development of the mind.

The Psycho-Analysis of Children (1932)
(The Writings of Melanie Klein, Vol. 2)

Hardback and Paperback

The psychoanalysis of Children, first published in 1932, demonstrates Melanie Klein's pioneering work in devising the play technique of child analysis, and in developing new ideas that throw light on the roots of child and adult neuroses and psychoses.

Envy and Gratitude and Other Works 1946-1963
(The Writings of Melanie Klein, Vol. 3)

Hardback and Paperback

This book contains papers from 1946 until Klein's death in 1960, and two papers published posthumously. Her major work, 'Notes on Some Schizoid mechanisms', introduces the concept of the paranoid-schizoid position. Other papers show the interplay of the paranoid-schizoid and depressive positions in infant and adult development. In 'Envy and Gratitude', her last and probably most controversial major work, she introduces her theory of primary envy.

Narrative of a Child Analysis :The Conduct of the Psycho-Analysis of Children as Seen in the Treatment of a Ten-Year-Old Boy
(The Writings of Melanie Klein, Vol. 4)

Hardback and Paperback

Narrative of a Child Analysis, Klein's last volume, appearing in 1961, provides us with a vivid picture of her work with ten-year-old Richard. Keeping notes of each session, she was able to describe the day-to-day course of the analysis, interpreting Richard's drawings, play, verbal associations, and reports of dreams. And in a series of accompanying notes, Klein links the clinical material to theoretical conclusions, offering us an invaluable guide to the technique of psychoanalysing children.
