'''Melanie Klein''' (March 30 1882 – September 22 1960) was an Austrian [[Image:Melanie Klein.jpg|rightpsychoanalysis|thumb|Melanie Kleinpsychotherapist]].
'''Melanie Klein''' ([[March 30Born]] in [[Vienna]] , she built on the [[1882work]] of [[September 22Sigmund Freud]] , particularly in the area of [[1960child psychology]]) was an Austrian . Klein is one of the cofounders of [[psychoanalysis | psychotherapistobject relations theory]].
Born in Invited by Ernest [[ViennaJones]], she built on the work of Melanie Klein came to [[Sigmund FreudLondon]]in 1926, particularly in the area of where she worked until her [[child psychology]]. Klein is one of the cofounders of [[object relations theorydeath]]in 1960.
Invited by Apart from her successful introduction of triumphant [[psychoanalytic]] [[Ernest Jonesconcepts]], Melanie Klein came Klein’s [[life]] was [[full]] of [[tragic]] events. She was the product of an unwanted [[birth]]. Both her [[parents]] showed little affection to her. Her much loved elder sister died when she was four. Melanie was made to feel [[responsible]] for her brother’s death. Her academic studies were interrupted by [[marriage]] and [[Londonchildren]] in 1926. Her marriage failed. Her son died. Her daughter, well-known [[psychoanalyst]] Melitta Schmideberg, where she worked until fought her death openly and histrionically in 1960the British [[Psycho]]-[[analytic]] [[Society]] and [[left]] to America. She neither reconciled with her [[mother]] nor attended her funeral. Melanie Klein was also clinically depressed.
Klein's [[theoretical ]] work gradually centered on a highly speculative hypothesis propounded by [[Freud]], which stated that life may be an [[anomaly]], that it is drawn toward an inorganic [[inorganicstate]] state, and therefore, in an unspecified [[sense]], contains an [[instinct ]] to die. In [[psychological ]] [[terms ]] [[Eros (Freud)|Eros]], the sustaining and uniting [[principle ]] of life, is thereby postulated to have a companion force, [[Thanatos]], which seeks to terminate and disintegrate life.
Examining ultra-[[aggression|aggressive]] [[fantasies ]] of [[hate]], [[envy]], and greed in very young, very ill children, Melanie Klein put forth the [[interpretation ]] that the [[human ]] [[psyche ]] is in a constant oscillation depending on whether Eros or Thanatos is in the fore. She calls the state of the psyche, when the sustaining principle of life is in domination, the depressive [[depressive position]]. The psychological state corresponding to the disintegrating tendency of life she gives the [[name ]] the [[paranoid]]-schizoid position]].
Melanie Klein's [[insistence ]] on regarding [[aggression ]] as an important force in its own [[right ]] when analyzing children brought her into [[conflict ]] with [[Anna Freud]], the [[other ]] major [[child ]] psychotherapist [[working ]] in England at the [[time]]. Many controversies arose from this conflict.
