Library Journal
In Kristeva’s able hands, Klein emerges as a woman who moved through anxious preoccupations and personal struggles to develop a theory of the mind that is fluid, interactive, and heterogeneous.
Contemporary Psychoanalysis
Not only is Kristeva superbly successful in this elaboration, but also I believe she is sometimes superior to Klein herself in the conceptual articulation of clinical insights.

Kristeva tells the remarkable story of Klein’s life: an unhappy wife and mother who underwent analysis and—without a medical or other advanced degree—became an analyst herself at the age of 40. In Kristeva’s account, Klein was the first person to see the mother as the source of not only creativity but also thought itself and the first to consider the place of matricide in psychic development—making her a crucial figure in the evolution of the provocative ideas about motherhood and the psyche for which Kristeva is renowned.
