Melanie Klein: The Paranoid-Schizoid and Depressive Position

Finally a new video

I broke my own curse and, finally, there is a new video live on YouTube.

🎥 New video on YouTube: This is an introduction to the work of Melanie Klein. Specifically a (beginner-friendly) overview of her concepts of the paranoid-schizoid and depressive position. Click on the thumbnail below to watch 👇

Here are extra resources for you:

2. My notes on "Notes on Some Schizoid Mechanisms"

3. A helpful graphic

🤔 Interesting thing I came across: Did you know that Klein started writing her autobiography? I didn't. The Melanie Klein Trust shares the 30 pages Klein finished before her death: https://melanie-klein-trust.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/MK_full_autobiography.pdf
