Example text
Spillius has published various developments in Kleinian thought (Spillius, 1983, 1988, 1994). Hinshelwood (1991) gives a comprehensive presentation. 4 The approach of the present study The present study aims to go over the early stages of Klein’s development, by means of an investigation of specimen cases. Klein treated at least twenty-two children and adolescents in Berlin, so a selection had to be made. My first decision was to restrict the investigation to her child analyses, since this was where the real innovations took place.
Klein also mentioned this in 1921: The child has a natural impulse to use the analysis also as a means to pleasure. At night when he should go to sleep he will state that an idea that must be discussed at once has occurred to him. (1921, WMK I, p. 50) It is difficult to make out what may have led Klein to carry out a kind of analysis with her son – although this was not unusual among analysts at that time – and to interpret his ideas about his dreams and phantasies as various elements of the Oedipus complex.
With regard to the next stages, I decided to go back to the early cases to which Klein referred in her paper of 1955 (‘The psychoanalytic play technique’), namely to the analyses of Rita (March to October 1923) and Inge (September 1923 to July 1924, and again from February 1925 to May 1926). According to the criteria set out above, Ernst would also be a possible subject for this period, as will be shown in an addendum to the presentation of Inge (Chapter 5). Ernst started his analysis with a predominantly positive transference and for the most part maintained it throughout his analysis.
