==School of Psychoanalysis==[[Kleinian psychoanalysis]] is the [[name ]] given to the [[school]] of [[psychoanalytic theory]] that has grown up around the pioneering workj [[work]] of the Austrian [[psychoanalyst ]] [[Melanie Klein]] (1882-1960).

==Melanie Klein==[[Born ]] in [[Vienna]], [[Klein]] settled in England in 1926 and remained there for the rest of her [[life]].

[[Kleinian psychoanalysis]] first began to emerge as a distinctive [[school ]] of [[psychoanalytic theory]] during the 1940s in opposition to the group which gathered around [[Anna Freud]] after the latter's move to [[London]].

However, it was not until after the war that [[other analysts ]] [[analyst]]s began to become known as 'Kleinians' "[[Kleinian]]s" and to develop a substantial [[body ]] of [[Klein]]ian [[thought]].

Along with the two other major non-Lacanian These [[school]]s of [[psychoanalytic theoryanalysts]] included Hannal Segal, Herbet Rosenfeld, Wilfred Bion and ([[ego-psychology]] and [[object-relations theory]]later) [[Kleinian psychoanalysis]] forms a major point of reference for [[Lacan]] against which he puts forward his own particular reading of [[Freud]]Donald Meltzer.

==Jacques Lacan==Along with the two other major non-[[Lacanian]] [[Lacanschool]]'s criticisms of [[Kleinpsychoanalytic theory]] ([[ego-psychology]] and [[object-relations theory]]) [[Kleinian psychoanalysis]] are therefore important to understanding the originality forms a major point of reference for [[Lacan]] against which he puts forward his positionown [[particular]] [[reading]] of [[Freud]].

While it is impossible to mention all of these [[Lacan]]'s criticisms here, some of [[Klein]] are therefore important to [[understanding]] the moat important originality of them may be summarized as followshis [[position]].

# ==Criticism==While it is [[Lacanimpossible]] criticizes [[Klein]] for placing too much emphasis on to mention all of these criticisms here, some of the [[mother]] and neglecting the role most important of the [[fatherthem]]may be summarized as follows.<ref>{{Ec}} p.728-9</ref>

# * [[Lacan]] criticizes [[Klein]] for theorizing placing too much emphasis on the [[fantasymother]] entirely in and neglecting the [[imaginaryrole]] of the [[orderfather]].<ref>{{Ec}} p. 728-9</ref>

* [[Lacan]] criticizes [[Klein]] for theorizing [[fantasy]] entirely in the [[imaginary]] [[order]]. : Such an approach is a misconception, argues [[Lacan]], since it fails to take into account the [[symbolic]] [[structure]] that underpins all [[imaginary]] [[formation]]s.

# * [[Lacan]] disagrees with [[Klein]]'s views on the early development of the [[Oedipus complex]].: For [[Lacan]], all debate on the precise dating of the [[Oedipus complex]] is futile, since it is not primarily a [[stage]] of [[development]] but a permanent [[structure]] of [[subject]]ivity. : (Insofar as the [[Oedipus complex]] can be located in [[time]], [[Lacan]] would not locate it as early as [[Klein]] does. : Thus while [[Klein]] seems almost to deny the [[existence]] of a [[Preoedipal_stage|preoedipal phase]], [[Lacan]] argues that there is one.)

For * Closely connected to the preceding point are [[Lacan]], all debate on 's differences with respect to "Melanie Klein's encroachments into the precise dating pre-[[verbal]] areas of the unconscious."<ref>{{L}} "[[Oedipus complexWorks of Jacques Lacan|Some Reflections on the Ego]]", ''Int.

(Insofar as the [[Oedipus complex]] can be located in time, * [[Lacan]] would not locate it as early as [[Klein]] does. Thus while criticizes [[Klein]] seems almost to deny the [[existence]] of a [[Preoedipal_stage|preoedipal phase]], [[Lacan]] argues that there is one.) # Closely connected to the preceding point are [[Lacan]]'s differences with respect to "Melanie Klein's encroachments into the pre-verbal areas of the unconscious."<ref>1951.11</ref>For interpretive style as [[Lacan]], there are no pre-verbal areas of the [[unconscious]], since the [[unconscious]] is a linguistic [[structure]]. # [[Lacan]] criticizes [[Kleinbeing]]'s interpreative style as being particularly brutal. : In reference to the young [[patient]] ('Dick') whom [[Klein]] discusses in her paper on [[symbol ]] formation, [[Lacan]] remarks that "she slams the symboolism [[symbolism]] on him with [[complete ]] brutality."<ref>{{S1}} p.68</ref>

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]].

After 1950, [[Lacan]] praises [[Klein]] for emphasizing te importance of the [[death drive]] in [[psychoanalytic theory]] and for developing the [[concept ]] of the [[part-object]] (though [[Lacan]]'s formulations on this concept different greatly from [[Klein]]'s).
