This book is a distillation of papers presented at a three-day conference in February 2015, organized by the Donald Meltzer Development Fund and held at the Tavistock Clinic in London. The aim of the conference was to celebrate the work of Donald Meltzer, who was such a lively force in the training of child psychotherapists at the Tavistock for many years.
The book represents the work in progress which is the harvest of Meltzer's thinking and teaching, and covers such topics as dimensionality in primitive states of mind, dreaming, supervision, and the Claustrum.
