Opis

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.

As such Reading Winnicott will be essential reading for all students wanting to learn more about Winnicott s theories and their impact on psychoanalysis and the wider field of mental health. "
