Unlike the followers of Melanie Klein from whom they split, the Independents do not function as a distinct school of psychoanalysis in the UK. The editors present a rare collection of papers that represent contemporary independent analysts in private practice who are affiliated with the British Psychoanalytical Society. Drawing on theory, case study material, and research with infants, contributors discuss the evolution of independent psychoanalytic thought in the UK, and their clinical orientations (which do not view Freudian interpretation as sufficient for psychic change).
