Segal’s book Introduction to the Work of Melanie Klein is what we had to read and it was helpful, but podcasts etc helped make sense of it.

In addition to the Segal book that was already mentioned, I enjoyed this one by Meira Likierman: https://www.amazon.com/Melanie-Klein-Her-Work-Context/dp/0826457703

More critical than purely expositional, J Laplanche's 'Should We Burn Melanie Klein?' is enlightening.

Object Relations in psychoanalytic theory by Mitchell and Greenberg was the first book that helped me understand Klein. I had tried to read some Klein books and struggled.

I find Joan Riviere’s work to be very helpful in feeling-into the concepts of Mrs Klein. Though the latter was a brilliant analyst and outstanding thinker, she wasn’t particularly gifted as a writer. So, for me, Riviere has a way of writing about Klein’s concepts in the everyday language of emotion and sensation, and this I found most helpful and useful both for myself and in my teaching of Klein/ians.

For a more scholarly (even if a bit obsessional) work on Klein, I highly recommend the writings of Dr Rachel Blass.

Otto Kernberg’s stuff is terrific, especially if you have any interest in BPO.
