The Seba library treats Money Kyrle in 6 passages, across 4 authors (including Samuels, Andrew, Lacan, Jacques, Bion, Wilfred Ruprecht).
At one point Money-Kyrle states that ‘Jung’s “archetypes” are probably much the same as innate preconceptions in theory.’ Although he adds that ‘there may be many differences in practice’
Samuels uses Money-Kyrle’s own words to argue that the Kleinian concept of innate preconceptions converges theoretically with Jungian archetypes, providing a cross-school bridge in post-Jungian metapsychology.

Money-Kyrle, without being Ferenczi nor as reserved as that, goes further on this particular point of the identity of the state experienced by him with the one his patient had brought along to him at the beginning of the week.
Lacan positions Money-Kyrle at a median point on the spectrum of countertransference disclosure, noting that he goes beyond Heimann’s strict self-analytic reserve by communicating to the patient an identity of experienced psychic state.

Dr. Elliott Jaques, Mr. R. Money-Kyrle and Dr. H. Segal have helped by reading and criticizing my manuscript. Just what generosity of time and effort this means for practising psycho-analysts can only be appreciated by another practising analyst.
Bion’s acknowledgement places Money-Kyrle as a principal critical interlocutor in the formation of Learning from Experience, situating him at the intellectual heart of Kleinian-Bionian metapsychology.

Preface R. E. Money-Kyrle This third volume of The Writings of Melanie Klein contains all her later work from 1946 until her death in 1960
Money-Kyrle’s role as preface-writer to Klein’s collected later work signals his institutional standing as an authorised custodian and interpreter of Kleinian thought.

if, by heaven, we mean our own phylogenetic inheritance, it seems to me that Plato was here very near the mark…. Our ‘phylogenetic inheritance’, then, contains…an immense amount of potential information…which probably comes into being in stages mainly during the first few weeks or months of post-natal life
Money-Kyrle reframes Platonic Ideas as phylogenetic inheritance, naturalising the archetype-preconception within a developmental psychoanalytic framework and aligning it with Bion’s theory of preconceptions.

The index entry confirms Money-Kyrle’s presence at two substantive points in Samuels’s comparative argument, marking him as a named theoretical resource within post-Jungian scholarship.
