Loss and Creativity
"One could speculate that Melanie’s decision to pursue her psychoanalytic career and research was reinforced as a way of dealing with the emptiness of devastating loss."

***
"Melanie Klein tried once to introduce the much more vivid term “pining” to cover the ordinary experience, but it did not catch on. She did not think that the goal of life was happiness – or pleasure as Freud put it."

Persecutory Guilt
“Frequently, the pain of the depressive position is just too severe. Melanie described this as a kind of persecutory guilt that ensures punishment – never forgiveness. In this situation, the person may enter a manic state. That state is a form of defence against pining. It is relieved by a refusal to feel need. This demonstrates how painful the sadness and pining can be – if even persecution is preferred!”
