Synopsis "Home is Where we Start From: Essays by a Psychoanalyst "

His ideas have influenced the diverse psychoanalytic schools of Anna Freud, Melanie Klein, and Hans Kohut. But his reach extends far beyond professional circles: his talks to general audiences over the years won him enormous numbers of followers among parents and teachers who have found his observations rich in penetrating insight. This collection brings together many of Winnicott's most important pieces, including previously unpublished talks and several essays from books and journals now difficult to obtain. They range widely in topic--from The Concept of a Healthy Individual and The Value of Depression to Delinquency as a Sign of Hope--and elucidate some of Winnicott's seminal ideas, such as the transitional object and the concept of false self. All convey Winnicott's vision of the ways in which the developing self interacts with the family and the larger society.

(1896-1971) English pediatrician and psychoanalyst, one of the major figures in the psychoanalytic movement following Freud. Studied medicine at the University of Cambridge. During World War I, he was drafted and served as a surgeon. After completing his service, he was able to finish his degree, specializing in pediatrics. While studying pediatrics, he began to show interest in Freudian psychoanalysis after meeting Ernest Jones, psychoanalyst and biographer of Sigmund Freud, who encouraged him to start his Didactic Analysis with James Strachey, a psychoanalysis he later continued with Joan Rivière. Later, Donald Winnicott joined the British Psychoanalytical Society, eventually becoming its president towards the end of his life.
