Synopsis

Doing Things Differently celebrates the work of Donald Meltzer, who was such a lively force in the training of child psychotherapists at the Tavistock Clinic for many years. The book represents the harvest of Meltzer's thinking and teaching, and covers such topics as dimensionality in primitive states of mind, dreaming, supervision, and the claustrum.

Media Reviews
'Overall, one of the most striking and moving aspects of the book is that the chapters, in their very different ways, come together to express what could be called something like the generation of meaning . They are testament to the space for the co-creation of imaginative conjectures that one author describes, a process at the heart of what Bion thought of as the growth of the mind, the developing a mind of one's own, so compelling and so enabling for these authors, as for their readers. For threading their way through this book are countless examples, some fleeting, some deep and extended, of intellectual and psychic growth , in the true sense of the word.'As we see here, the way in which Meltzer taught, and the actual content, were inseparable: we hear of his wit and humour, his often surprising turns of mind and phrase, his surpassing originality and, as the authors here collectively attest, to the presence of something as elusive as clinical intuition , learned not through trying to define the indefinable but through the nature of the insights found here in the case material described.'--Margot Waddell, from the Series Editors' Preface
