This seminar is dedicated to the famous British psychoanalyst Herbert Rosenfeld, a student of Melanie Klein, known for his innovative ideas for overcoming impasses in working with difficult patients and for discovering aspects of pathological narcissism. Herbert Rosenfeld made important contributions to the understanding of the mechanisms of psychosis, and deepened the Kleinian approach to the functioning of borderline and neurotic patients.
