Kenneth Sanders • Post-Kleinian Psychoanalysis

The Biella Seminars
Foreword by Donald Meltzer

"Post-Kleinian" signifies a model of the mind that adds to Freud's metapsychology of genetic, dynamic, economic, and structural as­ pects the geographical, epistemological, and aesthetic concepts of Klein, Bion, and Meltzer.
This revised metapsychology springs from Klein's concept of projective identification, which contributed an increment of mean­ ing to the terms "identity confusion" and "thought disorder". For the students in the "scuola", recommended reading is founded on the work of these authors; others are determined by the individual student's interest and "thirst for knowledge". The intention has not been academic, but to indicate a direction of theoretical growth. The informal discussions at the conclusion of each talk are reproduced in question-and-answer form. Only a few were recorded on tape, and I have both added to these where it seemed helpful and "imaginatively reconstructed" the remainder.
