Michael Fordham's immense contribution to analytical psychology has been marked by its combination of practical and theoretical genius. Before retirement he ran a full clinical practice alongside the co-editorship of The Collected Works of Jung, development of the Society of Analytical Psychology and its child and adult trainings, and a fifteen-year editorship of the Journal of Analytical Psychology. In his published work there has emerged a consistent and original contribution to Jungian thought, particularly in relation to the processes of individuation on childhood, and the links between analytical psychology and the work of the Kleinians. James Astor takes a critical and informed look at Fordham's work and ideas. Illustrating theory with examples drawn from clinical practice, the book will provide a useful amplification of Fordham's own work for students of analytical psychology and a sound introduction to it for analysts interested in understanding the connections between post-Jungian and post-Kleinian thought.

Covering John Bowlby's life and work, this text highlights the events that are linked to the creation of Attachment theory. It provides information about topics that Bowlby was reluctant to discuss in detail, whether in public or private, and yet are clearly connected to Bowlby's later life and theoretical pursuits. The book covers Bowlby's family of origin, his upbringing, schooling and later education. His work with Cyril Burt is included along with his introduction to psychoanalysis and his involvement in some major events in psychoanalysis, namely the controversial discussions between Anna Freud and Melanie Klein.
