About the Author
Harry Karnac (1919 - 2014), the founder of Karnac Books, began to specialise in psychoanalytic bookselling at the suggestion of Clifford Scott and Donald Winnicott - both customers in Karnac's Gloucester Road shop - and, despite retiring in the 1980s, retained his interest in psychoanalysis throughout his life, culminating in the compilation of extensive bibliographies on Winnicott, Bion and Klein.
Reviews
'Uniquely, its success is in directing us comprehensively, not just to core Kleinian writings, but also to works that critique the core. This is a great strength since any burgeoning school must eventually break out fully from an enclave of supporters and allow itself an exposure to proper critical appraisal by others. Klein's discoveries of the depressive position, splitting mechanisms, projective identification, and primary envy, and the later developments of these ideas are, still, such radical advances on Freud's energic metapsychology that they deserve and need continuing study, clinically and theoretically. The body of writing comprising those critiques as well as the core writings is now collected together for us. We are fortunate to have such an aide de recherche.' - Bob Hinshelwood, from the ForewordContentsIntroduction - R. D.
