Melanie Klein offers a detailed account of the analysis of a ten-year-old boy, Richard. She describes the daily course of the analysis by interpreting Richard's drawings, play, verbal associations, and dream reports. The reproductions of the drawings made by the patient, the analysis of which is revealed in this text, are also included. This fascinating and deeply instructive case study illustrates the fluctuations that characterize psychoanalysis and reveals the dynamics of the steps that ultimately lead to progress in therapy. In a series of notes accompanying the clinical description, Melanie Klein comments on the clinical material, linking real cases with more theoretical conclusions. In this way, she has provided a valuable guide to the technique of child psychoanalysis.
