In this volume, the work of British psychoanalyst D.W. Winnicott is
set in conversation with some of today's most talented
psychodynamically-sensitive political thinkers. The editors and
contributors demonstrate that Winnicott's thought contains
underappreciated political insights, discoverable in his
reflections on the nature of the maturational process, and useful
in working through difficult impasses confronting contemporary
political theorists. Specifically, Winnicott's psychoanalytic
theory and practice offer a framework by which the political
subject, destabilized and disrupted in much postmodern and
contemporary thinking, may be recentered. Each chapter in this
volume, in its own way, grapples with this central theme: the
potential for authentic subjectivity and inter-subjectivity to
arise within a nexus of autonomy and dependence, aggression and
civility, destructiveness and care. This volume is unique in its
contribution to the growing field of object-relations-oriented
political and social theory. It will be of interest to political
scientists, psychologists, and scholars of related subjects in the
humanities and social sciences.
