"This is an impressive exposition of Kleins ideas. The authors write with great clarity and thoughtful understanding, making Klein accessible to a wide range of readers. A valuable source book and a real contribution to our knowledge of Kleins psychoanalytic work."-Michael Feldman, Chairman, Melanie Klein Trust.
"Melanie Kleins contribution to psychoanalysis is rooted in her pioneering work with children. In this remarkable book the authors provide both a clinical and academic perspective on the evolution of Kleins thought, showing the impact of her insights into the early development of mind on her work with adults, and clarifying her position on questions that have often been misunderstood, including the importance of the environment and the role of envy."-Maria Rhode, Emeritus Professor of Child Psychotherapy.
"Reading Klein" is more than just a guide to Melanie Klein. It provides through close reading and sophisticated analysis a succinct and lively introduction to one of the founding figures of psychoanalysis. The authors bring out Kleins main theoretical contributions and their relation to current psychoanalytic understanding and to our sense of what it is to be human."-Elisabeth and Elias Da Rocha Barros, Training Analysts, Brazilian Psychoanalytic Society.

Provides a lucid account of Klein's published writing, presented by two distinguished writers who know her work well and have made creative use of it in their own clinical and extra-clinical writing. Its aim is to show how substantial her contribution to psychoanalytic thinking and clinical practice was, and how indispensable it remains to understanding the field of psychoanalysis. -Carl Logan, Reviewer, Midwest Book Review
