5.0 out of 5 stars Much more than a dictionary, September 5, 2000

By	Eve K. Sedgwick (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This volume offers much more than its title suggests. It's a great way into Melanie Klein's thought for those who haven't read her; and for those who have, it's an invaluable help for following the thread of her ideas as they developed and changed. The main entries are extremely useful as free-standing essays on the development and implications of Klein's principal concepts. Klein was an exciting analytic theorist, and this book brings readers directly into the current of her thought. I only wish it were in paperback.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Dictionary of Kleinian thought, January 31, 2009

By	Colleen Ballard (Australia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: A Dictionary of Kleinian Thought (Paperback)

And excellent expression of thought that can change one's thinking to a more broader perspective. It also examines how early experiences in life can shape our way of thinking and behaving.
