A collection of papers focusing on the Kleinian conception of the Oedipus complex, how this is now understood, and what effect it has had on clinical practice.

An indispensable guide to the myth of "Oedipus", this book is the first to analyze its long and varied history from ancient times to the modern day, and presented with an authoritative survey that considers "Oedipus" in art and music as well as in literature.

With this second volume, we enter the intriguing world of complex analysis. From the first theorems on, the elegance and sweep of the results is evident. The starting point is the simple idea of extending a function initially given for real values of the argument to one that is defined when the argument is complex. From there, one proceeds to the main properties of holomorphic ...(展开全部)
