This volume is a collection of papers written from the modern Kleinian perspective on a variety of clinical issues encountered in day-to-day psychoanalytic practice. It provides the reader a unique opportunity to step into the consulting office of a Kleinian psychoanalyst and learn about the moment-to-moment methods of working with a variety of complicated and often confusing clinical situations. The selected topics are approached from a theoretical vantage which is then fleshed out with extensive case material, allowing the reader to share in the clinical experience. Rarely does a psychoanalytic text allow the reader into the he said/she said exchange in such a close range, intimate manner.
