`The importance of Michael Jacobs' book lies in his attempt to
convey... Winnicott's profound influence.... Jacobs rightly
delights in the creativity and imagination of his subject and
illustrates these with numerous quotations and descriptions from
Winnicott's writings.... What is conveyed throughout the book is
the essence of Winnicott.... [whose] gift was to make
psychoanalytic language, methods and concepts more widely
available, accepted and appreciated to a nonpsychoanalytic world' -
British Psychological Society Counselling Psychology Review One of
the best-known British psychoanalysts, D W Winnicott attracts the
interest of counsellors and psychotherapists far beyond the strict
psychoanalytic tradition in which he was trained. He coined many
phrases that have entered the discourse of therapy, such as `good
enough mother', `transitional object' and `facilitating
environment'. Winnicott has had a profound impact on research into
the mother-baby relationship, and his unorthodox manner and
sparkling writing style have attracted enthusiastic acclaim. In
this book, Michael Jacobs summarizes Winnicott's life and explains
his major theoretical concepts. He also rigorously evaluates his
practice as a clinician - for example, the holding and management
of deeply regressed patients. While highlighting Winnicott's
brilliance and creativity, Jacobs is not afraid to scrutinize his
contributions more critically. He also discusses criticisms others
have made of Winnicott, notably within the psychoanalytic movement.
The final chapter assesses the influence of Winnicott's thinking in
other countries as well as in Britain.
