Winnicott's thinking continues to grow in importance in
psychoanalysis today. This book can be described as a clinical
primer: by presenting her own personal responses to Winnicott and
her initial understanding of his thinking, Margaret Boyle Spelman
aims to help others develop their own 'Winnicott' to assist with
their clinical thinking. This book makes explicit the parallel in
Winnicott's thinking between the situation of the baby and the
'nursing couple', and the patient and the 'analytic couple'. There
are two helpful baby observation pieces which are aimed at first
giving something of the experience of completing a baby observation
and then of the reporting of it. In addition to these, there are
chapters that treat Winnicott's thinking and the comparison of the
original baby with the one who appears in the course of an adult
therapy. Winnicott's thinking is first situated historically. Then
each of his three stages of dependence are explored in detail:
absolute dependence, relative dependence, and going towards
independence. These are looked at from the viewpoint of the
patient/baby and the mother/therapist in both developmental and
clinical situations.
