An Invaluable Resource about the Work of WinnicottOne might say that there is no such thing as a book or a reader in isolation: each person will find different things in this volume, depending on what he or she brings to it. For the student who has not yet encountered Winnicott, this is a signpost to the riches that are waiting to be discovered; for the practitioner, it will be a source of new insights to be used in clinical practice; and for the scholar, it will be an invaluable resource for bibliographic and thematic data on Winnicott's work. Jonathan Pedder, from his Foreword
Donald Winnicott was a unique figure who spanned both paediatrics and psychoanalysis, bringing a unique clarity of thought and deep humanity to all of his work. He is one of the most influential British figures to have emerged in these fields this century, and his work continues to win converts across the world. The Language of Winnicott is the first comprehensive and reliable guide to his unique use of words such as Aggression, Mother and Play. It charts the way in which his thought matured throughout his forty-year career, and gives extensive quotations from his original works. It also contains Harry Karnac's comprehensive bibliography of Winnicott's work, which will be invaluable to any student.
