ABSTRACT
Amongst my papers I found a few typed sheets giving my notes on a few sessions of supervision with Melanie Klein, working on a 2½-year-old boy while we were waiting for the 3-year-old (Rachel) I needed for my training. The boy came because he was disturbed by his mother’s second pregnancy. I think I must have typed out these sessions to remind myself how Melanie Klein dealt with what she felt to be the child’s inner world at this time of crisis in his life. I was particularly interested in the way he tried to mend the toy man that had got broken.
