Reading Winnicott - ed. Lesley Caldwell, Angela Joyce

Reading Winnicott brings together a selection of papers by the psychoanalyst and paediatrician Donald Winnicott, providing an insight into his work and charting its impact on the well-being of mothers, babies, children and families.

With individual introductions summarising the key features of each of Winnicott’s papers this book not only offers an overview of Winnicott’s work, but also links it with Freud and later theorists. Areas of discussion include:

• the relational environment and the place of infantile sexuality
• aggression and destructiveness
• illusion and transitional phenomena
• theory and practice of psychoanalysis of adults and children.
