Meltzer Study Group

The Donald Meltzer Development Fund is dedicated to the promotion and teaching of Dr Meltzer’s ideas. In line with that the Northern School is pleased to host the fourth year of a study group in collaboration with The Donald Meltzer Development Fund to explore the writings of Donald Meltzer. The study group is designed as CPD for qualified child and adolescent and adult psychoanalytic psychotherapists interested in deepening their understanding of Kleinian and post-Kleinian psychoanalytic theories and their application to clinical practice.

This year the study group will continue working through “The Kleinian Development” and explore Bion’s “Elements of Psychoanalysis”. “Transformations” and “Attention and Interpretation” as a background towards understanding the development of Dr Meltzer’s original thinking in his published work. The group will also read Meltzer’s “The Psychoanalytical Process” and “Sexual States of Mind”.
