ABSTRACT
Klein was, as we have seen, definitely ambitious, and a quiet life resolving her own problems of depression was not for her. So, having moved to Berlin, in 1921, she found herself in a group of talented psychoanalysts – including Franz Alexander, Hans Sachs, and Karen Horney. With her experience of children, and her discovery that children actually are visibly affected by painful complexes, it must have seemed perhaps obvious to her at the time that it would be important to consider how children could be therapeutically helped by psychoanalysis.
What was Klein’s thinking when developing her method of child analysis?
