Melanie Klein
Melanie Reizes Klein (30 March 1882 – 22 September 1960) was an Austrian-British psychoanalyst who devised novel therapeutic techniques for children that had an impact on child psychology and contemporary psychoanalysis. She was a leading innovator in theorizing object relations theory.
Life
Born in Vienna of Jewish heritage, Klein first sought psychoanalysis for herself from Sándor Ferenczi when she was living in Budapest during World War I. There she became a psychoanalyst and began analysing children in 1919. Allegedly two of the first children she analysed were her son and daughter. In 1921 she moved to Berlin, where she studied with and was analysed by Karl Abraham. Although Abraham supported her pioneering work with children, neither Klein nor her ideas received much support in Berlin. However, impressed by her innovative work, British psychoanalyst Ernest Jones invited Klein to come to London in 1926, where she worked until her death in 1960.
Klein had a major influence on the theory and technique of psychoanalysis, particularly in Great Britain. As a divorced woman whose academic qualifications did not even include a bachelor's degree, Klein was a visible iconoclast within a profession dominated by male physicians.

Shut You Out
by: MillencolinEven the smallest thing could be enough for you,
Still it was too hard for me to give.
Even the smallest thing could break your heart in two,
No wonder why its hard for you to live.
Just like I turned you down,
I always shut you out.
No matter who I blame you're not around,
I cannot turn back time, I cannot change a thing.
No matter what they say, I shut you out.
Even the smallest thing can make your day complete,
I've never seen a bigger smile that yours.
Even the smallest thing can wipe you off your feet,
When no ones catching you, you hit the floor.
Just like I turned you down,
I always shut you out.
No matter who I blame you're not around,
I cannot turn back time, I cannot change a thing.
No matter what they say, I shut you out.
Just like I turned you down,
I always shut you out.
No matter who I blame you're not around,
I cannot turn back time, I cannot change a thing.
