This is a preview of the sixth episode of Wes's subtext podcast.

It was recorded back in November when we were fresh off talking about Freud and internal

objects.

You're going to hear about eight and a half minutes here from near the beginning, some

of that initial discussion about who Melanie Klein was, and her contributions to psychoanalysis,

and object relations theory in particular.

At this point, and honestly, for the foreseeable future, the only way you can hear the entirety

of this hour-long discussion is by becoming a partially examined life citizen or $5 Patreon

supporter.

You can do that at partiallyexaminedlife.com slash support.

You're listening to subtext.

I'm Wes all one, and today I'm discussing Melanie Klein's notes on some skitzoid mechanisms

with Dr. Glenn Moubray, psychoanalyst and Los Angeles, and teacher at various psychoanalytic

institutes.

Thanks for coming on, Glenn.

Thank you, Wes.

Do you want to say a little bit more about what you do out there in Los Angeles?

So I teach Klein, and I also teach infant observation, which I strongly recommend for everyone

thinking of becoming a psychoanalyst to do and have that experience.

I think that's a good segue in for what we'll be discussing today.

Babies.

Melanie Klein.
