Book description
D. W. Winnicott s remarkable books, including
The Piggle
, Home Is Where We Start From
and The Child, Family and the Outside World
(all published by Penguin) are still read, valued and argued with over
thirty years after his death. Adam Phillips's short book, now issued
with a new preface, is an elegant, thoughtful attempt to get to grips
with a writer, paediatrician and psychiatrist whose work with children
and mothers (and the wider implications their relationship has for all
of us) continues to be profoundly relevant and fascinating. Adam
Phillips is most recently the author of Going Sane
and Side Effects
. He is the general editor of the New Penguin Freud
.
