Fully revised, and including a new chapter, this is a welcome new edition of a psychoanalytic classic. The extraordinary autobiography of a woman who has had Jungian, Freudian and Kleinian analyses, My Kleinian Home depicts Nini Herman's life as an odyssey full of familial, historical and personal distress. She bravely and honestly discusses her experiences as a German Jew in the 1930s, the death of a child, and her constant search for the resolution of her childhood traumas, and brings an unusual clarity to the assumptions and experience of Kleinian psychoanalysis.
