Product Description

Review
This book fills a gap in the literature. What Laplanche and Pontalis have done for Freud, and Hinshelwood for Klein, has now been rendered by Jan Abram for Winnicott, undoubtedly one of the greats of modern day psychoanalysis. Judy Cooper, British Journal of Psychotherapy Jan Abram has given us a gem of a book. It is clearly the result of many years studying, discussing, and teaching. Jennifer M. Bonovitz, Psychoanalytic Books Abram's extremely helpful and lively guide includes a complete bibliography (compiled by Harry Karnac, publisher and friend of Winnicott and the London analytic community), arranged both alphabetically and chronologically from 1919 to 1989. Given Winnicott's productivity including his many talks, letters, and broadcasts as well as books and papers as purveyors of his ideas, the compilation is highly valuable to scholars. R. H. Balsam, Yale University, in CHOICE This is a scholarly piece of work and should be on the bookshelf of all readers of psychoanalysis. Jeanette Beaufoy, Australian Journal of Psychotherapy There are many works on Winnicott. The originality of this one is that it is as close to an encyclopedia. People often use - in fact misuse - Winnicott's expressions inappropriately (I.e. false self), or sometimes they wrongly attribute to Winnicott's interpretations of ordinary concepts of psychoanalysis (I.e. sexuality). Thanks to Jan Abram, this will not pass unnoticed any more. Andre Green

5.0 out of 5 stars Language of Winnicott, 13 Jun 2009
By D. Belcher - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This dictionary is a valuable aid to engaging with the key ideas of a Winnicotian approach. He contributed significantly to the intelectual history of psychoanalysis.
It spans his key concepts and developing approach to the psychonalytical tradition. I found it helpfull in unpacking his main ideas in an area where people in the psychoanalytical tradition use different words to explain the same or almost the same concept. It is an angeging read that introduces Winnicott's comprehensive works. It's usefulness is in its being not only a useful dictionary to Winnciott but a guide to his thinking. It is a valuable resource for any undergraduate / post graduate student and therapist.
