      ab: An emerging school of criminal justice scholarship draws on Kleinian psychoanalysis to develop a moral psychology for thinking critically about guilt, responsibility and punishment. Many contributions are influenced by critical realism, whose ontological and epistemic insights allow psychoanalytic knowledge to be considered afresh. However, reflection on Kleinian psychoanalysis reveals ways in which the specific moral psychology developed in the foundational works of Bhaskar and Collier is inadequate and needs to be revised and deepened, in particular, it is too cognitivist, particularist, and over-rationalizing of therapeutic change on analogy with explanatory critiques. A more adequate dialogue between Klein and critical realism is sketched, on which they mutually inform one another to deepen a realistic moral psychology that helps illuminate the critique of criminal justice.
