Envy and gratitude
Book • 1988
Melanie Klein's work explores the complexities of early childhood development and the formation of relationships.
Her concept of 'splitting' describes how young children initially perceive their parents as either all-good or all-bad.
This book delves into the dynamics of envy and gratitude, showing how these emotions shape the child's developing sense of self and their relationships with others.
Klein's theories have significantly influenced the field of psychoanalysis, particularly in understanding the origins of anxieties and conflicts.
Her work continues to be studied and debated by psychoanalysts and psychologists.
