D.W. Winnicott Reviews

'In this instructive biography we see Winnicott as a man who tried to bear his own pain and kept trying to teach us to do the same. Humour and humility, so necessary for the practice of the impossible profession of psychoanalysis, and so rarely there when we need them, seemed always at Winnicott's fingertips.'- John M. Goodwin, M.D., Journal of Psychohistory'The first book about the life of English psychoanalyst and pediatrician Donald Woods Winnicott is a brief portrait of the man. From these charming and revealing stories and quotations by those who knew him, including his second wife, Clare as well as his voluminous correspondence, his personality comes alive. Highly recommended for all interested in child psychology.'- Rosemary Balsam, Choice Magazine'Brett Khar has provided us with a distillation of his very painstaking research into the life of Donald Winnicott, who is the most influential English psychoanalyst.'- Dr Jennifer Johns-Psychoanalyst, The Winnicott Trust'I recommend this book to all those that are interested in the man and his place in the psychoanalytic tradition.'- David Lonie, Australian Journal of Psychotherapy
