520  1   $a"Being and Not Being: Clinical Applications of
         the Death Instinct is the product of Dr. Weininger's decades
         of clinical work; he has written extensively on many aspects
         of child development and draws on the work of both Melanie
         Klein and Piaget. Richly illustrated with extensive case
         material, Being and Not Being is essential reading not only
         for those working with children of all ages, but also to all
         seeking a better understanding of the role of the death
         instinct throughout the life cycle." "Unlike Freud, Dr.
         Weininger finds the superego in young children to be very
         active. He begins by discussing the early developmental
         origins of such emotions as anger and rage." "Using an
         abundance of clinical material throughout, Dr. Weininger
         goes on to discuss the role of the internal objects, and the
         ways in which fantasized and real people, the internal
         objects and external parents, shape our relationships with
         people in our outer world." "Dr. Weininger devotes the
         second section of the book to such long overlooked and
         ignored topics as young children's developmental concepts of
         death, and dying and disabled children and children who feel
         unwanted. He makes wonderful use of his clinical experience
         when he discusses a three-year-old's attempt to understand
         death, which he illustrates with extensive dialogue. Drawing
         on his broad hospital experience, he next discusses the role
         of parents and hospitals in giving dying children the
         emotional support they need and helping them to deflect the
         death instinct."--BOOK JACKET.
