The Kleinian approach

The Kleinian approach, rooted in psychoanalysis, focuses on understanding the mind through the lens of early emotional experiences and relationships, particularly those with caregivers. Melanie Klein, its founder, emphasized the importance of internal emotional conflicts and fantasies that shape our perceptions and interactions. This approach highlights how feelings of love, hate, and anxiety influence behavior and relationships. By exploring these deep-seated emotions, the Kleinian method aims to uncover unconscious patterns, leading to greater self-awareness and healthier relationships, ultimately promoting psychological growth and healing.
