ABSTRACT

Fordham’s continuing interest in Meltzer and Bion centres on their application of Kleinian meta-psychology. He is also attracted to Meltzer’s intensely clinical approach. These reviews are arranged chronologically, but probably the most important one is on The Kleinian Development, where Fordham constructively compares Bion and Jung. Fordham’s reading of Bion illuminates Jung, and vice versa. The review of The Apprehension of Beauty acknowledges Meltzer’s major contribution to both analysis and aesthetics. R.H.
