Famous Female Aries:

A headshot of Melanie Klein Melanie Klein (March 30, 1882 - September 22, 1960) was a Jewish psychologist, born in Austria, who lived in Great Britain. She pioneered therapy for children, especially in her theories about how kids play with their toys when they are dealing with certain issues. She called this her "object relations theory" and it is still important in child therapy today. She dealt with her own issues too: depression, divorce, the death of her son and estrangement from her daughter, as well as developing a professional psychological career in what was considered a man's profession. Her legacy still stands - Klein's ideas continue to form a major school of thought in the practice of psychoanalysis.
