Melanie Klein and Marcelle Spira: Their Correspondence and Context

includes 45 letters Melanie Klein wrote to the Swiss psychoanalyst Marcelle Spira between 1955 and 1960, as well as six rough drafts from Spira. They were discovered in SpiraâEUR(TM)s library after her death in 2006. As only a few of the letters that Klein wrote to her colleagues have been preserved, this moving, historically important correspondence sheds new light upon the last five years of KleinâEUR(TM)s creative life
