Melanie Klein (Key Figures in Counselling and Psychotherapy series)

Praise for First Edition: `The book is very intimate; the first chapter on Klein′s personal and professional life is extremely candid and enlightening. Will be enjoyed by pre-professional students and psychoanalytically oriented theoreticians and practitioners′ - Choice Melanie Klein was without doubt one of the most influential figures in the development of psychoanalysis. Whilst constantly challenging Freud′s theories, and at the same time placing more importance on some of the neglected aspects of his work, Klein developed new psychoanalytic concepts from her detailed observations of the behaviour and thought processes of the children and adults she treated in the consulting room. In this Second Edition of Melanie Klein, Julia Segal uses case studies of Klein′s sessions with children to show how she developed her unique form of communication with her clients. As well as assessing Klein′s major theoretical and practical contributions to the profession, the author examines and challenges the criticisms aimed at Klein, and traces her influence on counsellors and psychotherapists working today. In contrast to existing books, which require specialist psychoanalytic knowledge, Julia Segal provides a concise and refreshing introduction to Klein′s life and work which is accessible to all.

Feel Better, Little Buddy is a great get-well gift for kids with boo-boos, friends on the mend, and anyone who needs a little love and healing inspiration. Julia Segal follows a menagerie of absolutely adorable pets as they recover from their injuries—with stories about the "uh-oh" moments that led to the casts and follow-up visits with the fully recovered patients. Dudley the dog, Waffle the rabbit, Thistle the hedgehog, Mariah the sloth, and George the kitten are just a few of the irresistible creatures whose feats of derring-do (and the necessary recoveries) make up this sweet book.

Since the 1940s psychoanalysis has changed dramatically, in part due to the influence of Melanie Klein and her students. Central to that change is Klein's concept of phantasy - the unconscious phantasies that control our assumptions, thoughts, emotions and behaviour. This text shows how understanding the influence of these phantasies can improve the quality of our daily life.

Phantasy in Everyday Life: A Psychoanalytical Approach to Understanding Ourselves (Master Work Series)

Jason Aronson, Inc.

This impressively honest book explores the effects a challenging disability or illness can have on the mind and personal relationships, and how friends, family and professionals can help.
Illness or disability can isolate people by creating vast differences in their experiences where previously there were none. Friends and family can find themselves saying the wrong thing or awkwardly avoiding topics as a result. This book takes a candid look at how discomfort caused by an illness can strain a relationship between partners, families and professionals, as well as how understanding feelings of guilt or shame can transform a situation or relationship.
The insights and advice offered in this book can help children and adolescents overcome anxiousness caused by a parent's condition, improve communication between partners and family members, and increase professionals' awareness of how a client feels about their situation.

The Trouble with Illness: How Illness and Disability Affect Relationships

Jessica Kingsley Publishers

It is through phantasy that we as humans see, recognise and comprehend the world. Phantasy colours and moulds behaviour, thoughts and feelings. Constantly changing, phantasies move and develop with growth and, like dreams, are created through our desires, our hopes, our fears, conflicts and anxieties. Arising from real experience interlaced with emotional reality, with lies we tell ourselves or with a deep knowledge of inescapable truths, phantasies can both enrich and confuse. Phantasy adds not only pleasure and emotional resonance but also fear and anxiety to everyday experience, and as such is a defining characteristic of what it means to be human. It is an essential - and contentiously debated - idea in psychoanalysis, punctuating the dialogue between ourselves and a world that we are forced both to live in and live through.
