The Work of Donald Meltzer Revisited: 100 Years After His Birth

Editor : Carlos Moguillansky, Editor : Gabriela Legorreta

Reviews and Endorsements

This is a deeply inspiring book on the extraordinary contributions of Donald Meltzer to psychoanalysis. From all the authors we hear of Meltzer’s surpassing originality, his wit and humour and the presence of his ‘clinical intuition’ they experienced in working and being in supervision with him. This book provides a unique set of perspectives on his work and influence and how his thinking is being used in different fields. It will give pleasure and much food for thought to readers interested in the state of psychoanalysis.

Meltzer's deep conviction in the unconscious workings of the mind is at the foundation of all his work, imbuing psychoanalytic practice with awe, mystery, surprise, boldness, and a profound sense of intimacy. The admirable writers in this volume each highlight a different facet of Meltzer's prolific work, illustrating, with rich clinical material, how these notions come alive in our consulting rooms. It is an invaluable contribution to our struggle to grasp the enigma of the psychoanalytic encounter.
