Abstract

GOMES, Nívea de Fátima  and  FRANCA, Cassandra Pereira. Do we still interpret children as Melanie Klein did?. Estilos clin. [online]. 2012, vol.17, n.2, pp. 290-305. ISSN 1415-7128.

This article aims to approach the main aspects of the clinical and interpretative method by Melanie Klein, from the most aggressive criticism that she has received and, once they were pertinent, from the relative distance existing between the strict attitude of Klein and the present Kleinian followers. After a fertile reflection exercise on the Kleinian interpretative passion, it is possible to recognize that playing has many times the power of allowing the elaboration of certain plots. This way, interpretation is no longer the central focus of neither all nor any session and has become used just in case its technical resources are essential.

Keywords : analytical interpretation; clinical method; psychoanalysis for children; Melanie Klein.
