Description
SIGNED WITH DEDICATION by Melanie Reizes Klein (1882-1960), an Austrian-British psychoanalyst who devised novel therapeutic techniques for children that had an impact on child psychology and contemporary psychoanalysis, and was a leading innovator in theorizing object relations theory. The dedicatee is the German-Jewish writer Cheskel Zwi (bzw.Hans) Kloetzel (1891-1951) ("Meine Freund Hans Klötzel überreicht von der Verfasserin"). Melanie Klein rarely signed her books, which makes this copy a unique exemplar. 225x145mm. 416 pages. Green cloth Hardcover with dust-jacket. Gilt lettering on spine. Jacket browning/age-stained. Jacket edges/corners and spine tattered/slightly missing. Cover corners and spine edges bumped. Text block edges and inner cover slightly age-stained. Author`s signed dedication on front whitepage. Pages yellowing. [SUMMARY]: This collection of psychoanalytical papers by Melanie Klein, bearing her extremely rare signature and dedication - a real gem for any serious autograph collector, is in good condition.
