Donald Winnicott (1896-1971) was trained in paediatrics, a
profession that he practised to the end of his life, in particular
at the Paddington Green Children's Hospital. He began analysis with
James Strachey in 1923, became a member of the British
Psychoanalytical Society in 1935, and twice served as its
President. He was also a fellow of the Royal College of Physicians
and of the British Psychological Society. The collection of papers
that forms The Maturational Processes and the Facilitating
Environment brings together Dr Winnicott's published and
unpublished papers on psychoanalysis and child development during
the period 1957-1963. It has, as its main theme, the carrying back
of the application of Freud's theories to infancy. Freud showed
that psycho-neurosis has its point of origin in the interpersonal
relationships of the first maturity, belonging to the toddler age.
Dr Winnicott explores the idea that mental hospital disorders
relate to failures of development in infancy. Without denying the
importance of inheritance, he has developed the theory that
schizophrenic illness shows up as the negative of processes that
can be traced in detail as the positive processes of maturation in
infancy and early childhood.
