The Post-Kleinian Model of the Mind The post-Kleinian model of the mind, as developed by W. R. Bion and Donald Meltzer, is essentially an aesthetic one. It is founded on Melanie Klein`s discovery of the `internal object` with its combined masculine and feminine qualities and ambiguous, awe-inspiring nature. Turbulent emotional experiences are repeatedly transformed through symbol-formation, on the basis of the internal relationship between the infant self and its object and the aesthetic containment provided by this `counter-transference dream` (as Meltzer put it) enables the mind to digest its conflicts and develop.This search for a pattern that can make `contrary` emotions thinkable is modelled by all art forms and accounts for their universal significance. It is a process that can be observed particularly clearly in literature, in the form of the romance between the poet and his Muse (the traditional formulation of the psycho-analytic internal object). This book explores the `counter-transference dreams` of some of the inspired symbol-makers who have been most influential in forming the modern aesthetic perspective in psychoanalytic thinking, including Shakespeare, Milton, Keats, Homer and Sophocles. It concludes with a discussion of Bion`s autobiographical works, which are the final expression of his own conception of the aesthetic model.
