Melanie Klein would have considered the title of this book a misnomer. As she once remarked tartly to a neighbor, “Make no mistake about it, my dear: I am a Freudian, but not an Anna Freudian.” What Adam Limentani is suggesting is that within the British Psychoanalytical Society he occupies an intermediate position, belonging to those analysts once described as the Middle group but now, to his regret, renamed “The Group of Independent Analysts.” This change he regrets because the original title indicated a balance in which one was free to espouse whatever views seemed more amenable to one's own way of thinking without advocating the fiercely partisan politics of Melanie Klein and Anna Freud.
