The Psychoanalytical Process

By Donald Meltzer

This classic account sets forth an integrated concept of the 'natural history' of the psychoanalytical process, emerging in the light of experience gained in the child-analytical playroom, and applied to the more complicated phenomena of adult patients. The Kleinian concepts of projective identification and the internal world are expanded by the Meltzerian view of the 'natural history' of an analysis, progressing in a sequence of phases that follows the development of primitive object relations. The book sows the seeds of Meltzer's future model of the mind, including the aesthetic quality of the process.
