ABSTRACT
The following two reviews, written in the mid-1950s, were amongst the first written comparisons between the work of Jung and Klein, but they did not arise in a vacuum. The medical section of the British Psychological Society had provided a forum where Freudians, Kleinians and Jungians could meet on neutral territory outside the settings of their respective institutions. At first these meetings were rather chaotic, until Rickman and Fordham introduced order by focusing attention on set topics such as projective identification and counter-transference.
