What in Winnicott-s theoretical matrix was truly revolutionary for psychoanalysis?
In this book, the editor and contributors provide a rare in-depth analysis of his original work, and highlight the specifics of his contribution to the concept of early psychic development which revolutionised the theory and practice of psychoanalysis. Including re-publications of selected Winnicott papers to set the scene for the themes and explorations in subsequent chapters, the book examines how Winnicott expanded Freud-s work, and how his discourse with Melanie Klein sharpened his thought and clinical innovations. Divided into 3 sections, it covers:
- Introductory overviews on the evolution of Winnicott-s theoretical matrix
- Personal perspectives from eminent psychoanalysts on how Winnicott-s originality inspired their own work
- Further recent examinations and extensions including new findings from the archives
