Between 1955 and 1960, Melanie Klein wrote some 45 hitherto unpublished letters to Marcelle Spira, the Swiss psychoanalyst living at that time in Geneva. In 2006, after Spira's death, these letters were deposited with the Raymond de Saussure Psychoanalysis Centre in Geneva. They are the only known letters that Klein addressed to her psychoanalyst colleagues. Several topics are mentioned in them: (1) the meetings between the two women in Geneva and London; (2) Spira's contribution to Boulanger's translation into French of The Psychoanalysis of Children, which Klein herself carefully revised; (3) the papers that Klein was at that time working on, including Envy and Gratitude; (4) Spira's own work; (5) the difficulties that Spira, a Kleinian psychoanalyst who trained in Buenos Aires, was encountering in her attempt to be admitted to the Swiss Psychoanalytical Society; and (6) a few items of personal and family news. In addition to the invaluable historical information that these letters provide, they offer us a very moving epistolary self-portrait of Melanie Klein, enabling us to discover her personality in the final years of her life - she died in September 1960, just two months after writing her last letter to Spira.
1955年至1960年间，梅兰妮·克莱因给当时居住在日内瓦的瑞士精神分析学家玛塞勒·斯皮拉写了约45封此前未发表的信件。2006年，斯皮拉去世后，这些信件被存放在日内瓦的雷蒙德·德·索绪尔精神分析中心。它们是已知克莱因写给其精神分析学家同行的仅有的信件。信中提到了几个主题：（1）两位女性在日内瓦和伦敦的会面；（2）斯皮拉对布朗热将《儿童精神分析》翻译成法语所做的贡献，克莱因本人对该译本进行了仔细修订；（3）克莱因当时正在撰写的论文，包括《嫉妒与感恩》；（4）斯皮拉自己的工作；（5）斯皮拉这位在布宜诺斯艾利斯接受培训的克莱因派精神分析学家在试图加入瑞士精神分析学会时遇到的困难；（6）一些个人和家庭消息。除了这些信件提供的宝贵历史信息外（它们还为我们展现了梅兰妮·克莱因一幅非常动人的书信体自画像，使我们得以在她生命的最后几年中发现她的个性——她于1960年9月去世，就在给斯皮拉写完最后一封信的两个月后）。 （括号内为补充完整句子结构后的内容，使译文更通顺自然）
