"Having spent a considerable portion of my working life dealing with psychoanalytic literature, I started reading biographies and autobiographies of major figures in this sphere when I retired. It must be said that psychoanalysts autobiographies are pretty thin on the ground. The names which stood out most were Wilfred Bion, Donald Winnicott and Melanie Klein. It is well known that Bion wrote several volumes which may be broadly defined as autobiography, whereas we have to rely on Robert Rodman s and Brett Kahr s biographies in order to learn of Winnicott s life. There are, of course, many articles scattered through the literature of personal memories of him by Harry Guntrip, Margaret Little, Renata Gaddini, Masud Khan, etc. There are at least two biographies of Klein and many instances of reference to her life in articles and parts of books. These will be the subject of a further book to be researched.On trying to find what material actually existed, it struck me that there were vast amounts of material relevant to the lives, work and ideas of both men in the form of reviews, articles and books. There did not, however appear to be compilations of such work other than limited lists appearing on various web pages via the Internet.With considerable renewed interest in Bion s contribution to various disciplines beyond the psychoanalytic and psychotherapeutic, I hope that this work will be of use to practitioners, researchers and students. The list of secondary sources is by no means exhaustive and it is unlikely that it ever will be due to the constantly growing interest in Bion s ideas and contributions to various fields." -- Harry Karnac from the Introduction"

This bibliography is based on the plethora of ideas introduced into the psychoanalytic lexicon by Donald Woods Winnicott. It demonstrates amply how wide the range is of Winnicott scholarship and facilitates post-Freudian Bion and Winnicott studies.

This book is a bibliography of Melanie Klein's writings together with other books, articles, and papers, dealing with her life, ideas and work. It is of immense potential use for clinicians, students, and researchers.

Harry Karnac began to specialize in psychoanalytic bookselling at the suggestion of Donald Winnicott, a customer at Karnac's bookshop in Gloucester Road during the late 1950s. The two became good friends and Harry's interest in Winnicott and his works has remained strong ever since. This bibliography of over 1200 books, articles and reviews of works by, about, or relating to Winnicott and his work is the result of many years of research, and represents the most complete listing available to date. It is an essential reference work and will be an invaluable aid for scholars, clinicians, analysts, therapists, researchers and anyone interested in the life and work of one of the leading figures in the fields of pediatrics and psychoanalysis. "I am delighted to welcome and introduce Harry Karnac's careful bibliography of works to date that have made use of the plethora of ideas introduced into the psychoanalytic lexicon by Donald Woods Winnicott. This is the core work. All serious Winnicott scholars will find it essential as a starting point for reference. Since Winnicott's ideas tangle with many other fields, this compilation of references is the touchstone for many others in whatever areas they are engaged. Just as in his lifetime Winnicott regularly and frequently spoke to enormous numbers of different, not only professional audiences, so, after his death, his writings continue to engage all manner of people. Winnicott's work, no less than Freud's, has applications in, spans and influences 'Nothing Short of Everything' as he wanted to title his autobiography. Accordingly, his work has been discovered and influenced people in many fields of human endeavour. Everything is not yet availableof the work of a man who is undoubtedly amongst the most significant heirs to the mantle of Freud [but] already Harry Karnac has listed more than 1200 articles, books and reviews of relevant derivative scholarship interest. Until the unopened archives become available no final evaluation of Winnicott's work will be possible....There is no intention here to annotate or provide a critical bibliography, nor to reproduce summaries or abstracts of articles, nor to analyse the items in any depth....This bibliography has been fascinating reading for me for whom it is essential, as I am confident it will be for many, many others now and in years to come." -- Judith Issroff, from the Foreword

This book forms a comprehensive bibliography of the works of W. R. Bion, and the other works that made some bearing of his life and thought. It discusses Bion's contribution to various disciplines beyond the psychoanalytic and psychotherapeutic.

This bibliography contains two thousand plus references comprising texts written by and about Melanie Klein in English, Spanish, Italian, German and French. These include books, articles and reviews. It is of immense potential use for clinicians, students, and researchers, being a natural companion to PEPWeb. It is also complements Karnac 's previous bibliographies of Winnicott and Bion.
