Reviews and Endorsements
We should see Melanie Klein's thought as an open work. It is a work that reinvents itself with each encounter with contemporary thought, fertilizing it and thus continuing to inspire new perspectives and sow new concepts derived from a deep understanding of her ideas. It is not a matter of accepting or rejecting her in its entirety, but of taking her ideas as a rich model of the functioning of the psychic apparatus. In her work, the process of acquiring knowledge has become a concept with metapsychological status and has been incorporated into most contemporary psychoanalytic theories.
