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. Winnicottcan 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.
