Works by Melanie Klein The Writings of Melanie Klein Vols. 1-4 Hardback, Separate volumes are available in hardback and in paperback. First published in 1975 by Hogarth press and the Institute of Psychoanalysis. Hardback edition now by Karnac. Paperback editions published by Vintage. Love, Guilt and Reparation and Other Works
1921-1945 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)
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 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 psychoanalysis of
Children as Seen in the Treatment of a Ten-Year-Old Boy 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.

Works by other Anderson R. (Ed.) (1991)
The papers in this book give a readable account of some of the most fundamental ideas put forward by Klein and Bion: child analysis, Klein's use of the concept of unconscious phantasy, projective identification, the paranoid-schizoid and depressive positions, Bion's study of psychotic thinking, his ideas of the relation between container and contained, and the usefulness of the ideas of reversible perspective in understanding 'as if' personalities. Anderson, R. and
Dartington, A. (Eds.) (1988)
Facing
it Out: Clinical
Perspectives on Adolescence. Bell D.
(Ed.) Reason and Passion : Work of Hanna
Segal (1997) These two volumes, though available separately, together constitute a celebration of the work of Hanna Segal. The first volume comprises clinical and theoretical papers from clinicians of international repute, while the second volume brings together contributions from leading academics and psychoanalysts who explore the relationship between psychoanalysis, literature, philosophy and social theory. Bion W. R. (1961)
Experiences in Groups In this pioneering work Bion explores the mentality of groups. He puts forward the hypothesis that a group met for a task will have other unconscious Basic Assumptions - of fight/flight, pairing, or dependence, and that these Basic Assumptions will affect the capacity of the group to function as a work group. Bion W. R.
(1962)
Learning
From Experience Founding his thinking on certain key ideas of Freud and Klein, Bion develops a conception of the emotional encounter involved in learning from experience. To express his new ideas he coins a terminology of alpha-function, alpha- and beta- elements, reverie, container-contained and L, H, K and -K links. Bion W. R.
(1963)
Elements
of psychoanalysis. In this work Bion searches for elements which might be used to express the theories of psychoanalysis. Among such elements are: projective identification, the interplay between the paranoid-schizoid and depressive positions, the relation between container and contained. He also devises an instrument for scanning psychoanalytic material - the Grid. Bion W. R. (1965)
Transformations Extending the original work of his two earlier volumes Learning from Experience and Elements of psychoAnalysis, Bion here focuses on the different types of transformation analyst and patient make of their observations and experiences during a psychoanalysis. He distinguishes three types of transformation: rigid motion transformations, projective transformations and transformations in hallucinosis. Bion W. R. (1967)
Second Thoughts. This book is both a collection of Bion 's papers, largely from the 1950s, which are reprinted in their original form, and, as well, a later Commentary expressing his second thoughts about his own papers. Prominent among the papers are 'Differentiation of the Psychotic from the Non-Psychotic Personalities', 'Attacks on Linking' and 'A Theory of Thinking'. Bion W. R. (1970)
Attention
and Interpretation. In this work Bion focuses on the importance of observation for the understanding of emotional experience in individuals and groups. He investigates the factors that interfere with observation and lead to opacity, and the problems of language that attend its communication. Bion, W.
R. (1994) (Ed. F. Bion)
Cogitations. (Comments to follow) Bleandonu, G. (1994)

(1989) The
Oedipus With an introduction by Hanna Segal, this book includes
Klein's 1945 paper, 'The Oedipus Complex in the Light of Early
Anxieties' and papers by Ronald Britton, Michael Feldman, and Edna
O'Shaughnessy, all dealing with the expression and analysis of

the way the Oedipus situation structures
the analytic situation. Bronstein, C.
(Ed) ( 2001) Kleinian Theory: a contemporary This book consists of 13 chapters
each based on a lecture given as part of the Master course at the
Psychoanalysis Unit of University College London. It gives a picture
of Kleinian thought today as seen by a number of psychoanalysts and
covers such subjects as phantasy, the paranoid-schizoid and
depressive positions, envy, projective identification, symbolization
and transference. Caper, R.
(1988)
Immaterial Facts Caper shows how Melanie Klein's theory and practice developed from the work of Freud, remaining faithful to his vision but enlarging his ideas, particularly, initially, through the analysis of children. Caper, R. (1999)
A Mind of One’s Own This collection of papers from one of the leading Kleinian
authors in the United States centres on the idea contained in the
title and leads the author to explore many of the central Kleinian
concepts. He
writes on internal objects, on enactment and on containment, in
particular exploring the various meanings and consequences of
projective identification Geissmann, P. and Geissman, C. (1997) A History of Child Psychoanalysis. London: Routledge The Geissmanns describe the origin and development of child analysis, including Kleinian child analysis, worldwide. Grinberg L, Sor, D and Bianchedi T,

collection of Betty Joseph's most important papers examines the
development of her thought and shows how her theory and practice is
concerned with the detailed, sensitive scrutiny of the therapeutic
process itself. Fundamental
and controversial topics explored and discussed include projective
identification, transference and countertransference, unconscious
phantasy, and Kleinian views on envy and the death instinct. King P. and Steiner R. (Eds.) (1992) The Freud / Klein Controversies 1941-45 Following the arrival in England of Freud, Anna Freud and
some of their Viennese colleagues in 1938 and the death of Freud in
1939, the radical theories of Melanie Klein were the subject of
prolonged controversy and fierce debate within the British
psychoAnalytic Society. In
the midst of, or as a result of, the personal animosities and
political manoeuvrings, important intellectual contributions were
made, and practical decisions taken, which were to affect the
development of psychoanalysis down to the present day.
The Freud-Klein Controversies 1941-45 offers the first
complete record of the debate, including all relevant papers and
correspondence, based on previously closed archive material. Meltzer D.

(1991)
Hughes, A. (Ed.)
The Inner World and Joan Rivière: This book shows the importance of Rivière’s work not only as a translator of Freud and close colleagues of Melanie Klein, and exponent of her work, but also as an original analytic thinker in her own right. Rosenfeld H. A. (1964)
Psychotic States. Herbert Rosenfeld (1910-1986) makes a powerful case both for the intelligibility of psychotic symptoms and the potential benefits of their treatment by psychoanalytic means. Rosenfeld H. A.

- Malcolm R. (1999)
On Bearing Unbearable States of Mind This book describes the analyst's taking in and effective interpretation of the extremely painful thoughts and feelings of very disturbed patients, showing in detailed clinical examples how intolerably painful states of mind can be used as a basis for insight and psychic change in the patient. Schafer R. (Ed.)(1997)

Steiner J.
(1993) Using new developments in Kleinian theory, John Steiner
examines the way object relationships and defences can be organised
into complex structures which lead to a personality and an analysis
becoming rigid and stuck, presenting a challenge to the analyst and
to analytic theory. Waddell, M. (1998)
