"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
It includes previously unpublished critiques of the ideas of Melanie Klein, and comments on the work of other psychoanalysts, as well as clinical examples, case studies, and gems of thought extracted from his files. Many of the topics will be of direct usefulness to clinicians: for example, play in the analytic situation, the use of silence, psycho- somatic disorder, interpretation in analysis, and seven chapters on psychotherapy with children and adolescents. Other chapters treat such themes as the fate of the transitional object, fear of break- down, the split-off male and female elements, the basis for self in body. Also included are Winnicott's writings on convulsion therapy and leucotomy; his last great theoretical paper, "The Use of an Object"; a moving and illuminating memoir by his widow, Clare; and, as a Postscript, a talk he gave late in life discussing the influences that shaped his work
Exploring in her memoir the question of why Winnicott was so interested in "the first two- person relationship," that between mother and baby, Clare Winnicott says: "Given his personality, his training and experience, and his urge for discovery, it seems inevitable that he would concentrate his researches on the [then] so far comparatively unexplored area of earliest infancy and childhood. His findings, however, are recognized by many as having implications far beyond the immediate area of study. It is the expressed opinion of some that they throw light on all areas of living." Readers of Psycho-Analytic Explorations will share that opinion.
