This bold and witty, yet scholarly biography is the first to trace
the full life and work of this highly influential and brilliant
pediatrician-turned-analyst. This insightful story probes the roots
in Winnicott's personal life of his influential concepts, such as
the "holding environment" so crucial to psychotherapy and the
"transitional object" known to every parent as the "security
blanket." His astonishing career involved many of the great figures
in psychoanalysis and psychology, not just Melanie Klein and Anna
Freud, but the whole eccentric Bloomsbury scene including the
Stracheys, R. D. Laing, and the controversial Pakistani prince and
analyst, Masud Khan. For anyone interested not only in psychology
and psychoanalysis but also in human nature and the great figures
who have explored it, this book will be passionately absorbing.
