Marisa Pelella Melega came to Rome in 1988 to celebrate the foundation of the first Centro Studi Martha Harris, and to establish a link between the Centro Studi and her initiative in Sao Paulo. The link with the Centro Studi and with the Tavistock proved very fertile and this book is a witness to it. The valuable work documented here exemplifies vividly Martha Harris' own often-cited statement that psychoanalytical ideas have travelled... and found a home in which to flourish
Post-Autism recounts in close and vivid detail the story of the author's struggle to analyse and communicate with a pubertal boy who presented with a diagnosis of untreated infantile autism. Marisa Melega, who was at that time a young and relatively inexperienced analyst, worked with Mario in Sao Paulo, Brazil, from 1978 to 1982 and during most of that period the case was supervised by Donald Meltzer, who had recently published his pioneering work Explorations in Autism, based on ten years of collaborative endeavour with a group of therapists. At that period the condition of autism was relatively little understood, and psychological therapies undeveloped.
This book is one of a series that record Donald Meltzer's clinical seminars and supervisions, which were conducted in various countries on a regular basis over many years. Despite his interest in the theoretical advances of psychoanalysis made during what he termed The Kleinian Development, Meltzer believed that clinical supervision was the only way to teach psychoanalytic practice. In effect he treated supervision as an art form just as he regarded psychoanalysis as an art form. The library of his supervision work, almost all recorded outside the UK, thus forms a valuable teaching model for future practitioners, as well as demonstrating Meltzer's wealth of insight into both character development and analytic technique.
O objetivo deste livro é mostrar a intimidade da formação de símbolos como continentes de significado emocional durante o processo analítico, sendo estes entendidos atualmente como símbolos autônomos, construídos pelo indivíduo, diferentemente dos símbolos vindos da cultura ou dos signos. Para tanto, servimo-nos de cenas colhidas no bebê num setting de observação e de sessões de análise de crianças e de adultos. O interesse de Meg H. Williams em formações simbólicas e a expectativa dela de que psicanalistas pudessem mostrar a intimidade da formação simbólica durante as sessões de análise foi sem dúvida o empurrão que faltava para que eu decidisse escrever algo de minha experiência a respeito.
"O doutor Arthur Hyatt-Williams . . . escolheu como campo de investigação a criminalidade. Neste seu livro, apresenta um aprofundado estudo sobre a criminalidade e a destrutividade do ser humano. Para tal, ocupou-se por mais de trinta anos de detentos na prisão Wormwood Scrubs, em Londres, para compreender a mente dos criminosos, quais fatores facilitam a concretização de atos violentos e do homicídio e quais elementos seriam específicos da mente de um homicida. Sua longa experiência convenceu-o de que quem mata não é substancialmente diverso de quem não mata. . . . O livro como um todo é rico em exemplos e teorizações, resultando ser muito didático nesse assunto tão pouco abordado pelo vértice da teoria psicanalítica."

Summary: 'Meltzer referred to this stage of life as the "great combine harvester of adolescence". In essence: all have to go through it; some find it hard to emerge from it. Theory and clinical material bring alive the political and ethical states of mind of adolescents as they re-evaluate their child knowledge and understanding. The tension builds through the book, leading from imaginative descriptions of ordinary pubertal states of mind to the destructiveness of perversity. The case discussions in the book provide a master class on technique and clinical understanding.' - Ellie Roberts, Consultant.
North American psychoanalysis has long been deeply influenced and substantially changed by clinical and theoretical perspectives first introduced by interpersonal psychoanalysis. Yet even today, despite its origin in the 1930s, many otherwise well-read psychoanalysts and psychotherapists are not well informed about the field. The Interpersonal Perspective in Psychoanalysis, 1960s–1990s provides a superb starting point for those who are not as familiar with interpersonal psychoanalysis as they might be. For those who already know the literature, the book will be useful in placing a selection of classic interpersonal articles and their writers in key historical context. During the time span ...
