This book offers a comparative study of the major schools of psychoanalysis by exploring their historical development, their differences and similarities, and the underlying assumptions made by each. Encompassing the expertise of colleagues from different schools of psychoanalytic thought, each chapter explores a particular perspective, defining specific theoretical assumptions, theories of etiology, and implications for technique, as well as providing each author’s view on the historical development of key psychoanalytic concepts. With contributions from leading authors in the field, and covering both historical and international schools, the book provides an enlightening account that will prove essential to psychoanalytic practitioners and students of psychoanalysis and the history of medicine.

Figura Judasza od setek lat intrygowała artystów, myślicieli i literatów, którzy starali się dociec motywacji zdrajcy.

Byli świadomi, że w świecie chrześcijańskim dwunasty apostoł jako chciwy i demoniczny wiarołomca stał się z jednej strony archetypem zdrajcy, a z drugiej – reprezentantem wszystkich Żydów. Czy podążali zatem za legendą niesławnego Judasza, czy może wprost przeciwnie – ukazywali go w lepszym świetle, tym samym dekonstruując brzemienne w skutki połączenie obrazu Żydów z nikczemnym zdrajcą? Autorka proponuje czytelnikom podr...

Melanie Klein: The Basics provides an accessible and concise introduction to the life and work of Melanie Klein, whose discoveries advanced those of Freud and other analysts, deepening our insight into the unconscious domain of psychology in human beings. Klein began her work by developing a method of psychoanalysis for children, who suffer from anxiety and other, often unrecognised, conflicts, which enabled understanding of those crucial early steps in the development of human mind and identity. Although she initiated one strand of clinical and theoretical developments, many of her discoveries are well-regarded by other schools of psychoanalysis. The book contains four parts, as well as fur...
