==School of Psychoanalysis==
[[Kleinian psychoanalysis]] is the name given to the [[school]] of [[psychoanalytic theory]] that has grown up around the pioneering work of the Austrian [[psychoanalyst]] [[Melanie Klein]] (1882-1960).
However, it was not until after the war that other [[analyst]]s began to become known as "[[Kleinian]]s" and to develop a substantial body of [[Klein]]ian [[thought]].
==Jacques Lacan==
Along with the two other major non-[[Lacanian]] [[school]]s of [[psychoanalytic theory]] ([[ego-psychology]] and [[object-relations theory]]) [[Kleinian psychoanalysis]] forms a major point of reference for [[Lacan]] against which he puts forward his own particular reading of [[Freud]].
[[Lacan]]'s criticisms of [[Klein]] are therefore important to understanding the originality of his position.
==Criticism==While it is impossible to mention all of these criticisms here, some of the moat most important of them may be summarized as follows.
==Other Schools==
However, to portray [[Lacan]] as entirely critical of [[Klein]] would be to oversimplify the matter.
He certainly regards it as superior to [[ego-psychology]].
He also states that [[Melanie Klein]] is certainly more faithful to [[Freud]] than [[Anna Freud]] regarding the theory of [[transference]].<ref>{{S8}} p.369</ref>
In his pre-1950s writings, there are many allusions to [[Klein]]'s work on the [[mother]]-[[child]] [[dual relation|relationship]] and the various [[imago]]s that operate in [[fantasy]].
