Sommario/riassunto

In the published work of Michael Fordham there has emerged a consistent and original contribution to Jungian thought, particularly in relation to the processes of individuation on childhood and the links between analytical psychology and the work of the Kleinians. In this addition to the "Makers of Modern Psychotherapy" series, the author takes a critical and informed look at Fordham's work and ideas. Illustrating theory with examples drawn from clinical practice, the book is intended to provide an amplification of Fordham's own work for



students of analytical psychology and an introduction to the subject for analysts interested in understanding the connections between post-Jungian and post-Kleinian thought.
