The Work of Donald Meltzer Revisited: 100 Years After His Birth returns to and reassesses the contributions of Donald Meltzer, one of the most significant disciples of Melanie Klein and who was deeply inspired by Wilfred Bion.
An international selection of leading contributors delves into the work of Meltzer and explores a wide range of topics introduced and developed by him, including the claustrum, adhesive identification and preformed and analytic transference. The book also considers Meltzer-s approach to dreams and presents relevant clinical vignettes. It provides a thorough account of the way Meltzer-s contributions have evolved and enriched psychoanalytic theory and practice.
The Work of Donald Meltzer Revisited: 100 Years After His Birth will be of great interest to students and psychoanalysts both in practice and in training, especially those less familiar with the legacy of Meltzer-s work.
