Klein Theory Course 2023: Seminar 1
Seminar 1: Introduction to The Klein Theory Course
The Klein Course introduces students to the foundations of Melanie Klein’s psychoanalytic theories, focusing on her pioneering work in child analysis, unconscious fantasy, and object relations. Klein’s thinking reshaped psychoanalysis by emphasizing the infant’s inner world, the role of primitive anxieties, and the developmental positions (paranoid-schizoid and depressive) that underpin emotional life.
