First published in 1990. The ideas of Donald Winnicott are
scattered through numerous clinical papers and short, popular
expositions. He made only one attempt to write and overview of his
ideas, and this is it. It remained unfinished at his death in 1971.
It is an ambitious work. The chapters offer his perspective on most
of the main issues in psychoanalytic theory - for example,
psychosomatics; the Oedipus complex; infantile sexuality; the
unconscious; the depressive position; manic defence; transitional
objects; aggression. Winnicott has here made a major synthetic
effort, one which is regarded as the best of his posthumous works.
D. W. Winnicott can be said to be the most influential native-born
British psychoanalyst and - with Klein and Fairbairn - the founder
of the object relations perspective. His writings are among the
most moving and evocative int he whole literature of
psychoanalysis.
