Summary
This volume brings together a collection of classic papers from key figures in Kleinian and post-Kleinian thought that explore the relationship between psychoanalysis and art. Sandra Gosso begins with a guide to the history of this relationship which began with Freud and was developed further by Melanie Klein at a time when most analysts were moving away from links with art. Melanie Klein's pivotal paper, "Infantile Anxiety Situations Reflected in a Work of Art and in the Creative Impulse," follows the Introduction. The other papers featured are mainly from British analysts who expanded on Klein's ideas, inspired by the influence of the creative Bloomsbury and Imago Groups. Their interests range throughout the arts and this allows them to explore the relationship between art and psychoanalysis from various angles. The papers featured here investigate such core themes as the creative impulse, aesthetics, literature and symbol formation.
