This article, while acknowledging Klein's contribution to psychoanalysis, is a critique of Klein's object relations theory, drawing on Winnicott, Bowlby, Fairbairn, Mitchell, and Stern. The writer also draws on her own view of Klein's perception of the ‘part bad object’ from her own clinical experience in working effectively with parents in a relational manner.
