Home Is Where We Start from: Essays by a Psychoanalyst - D. W. Winnicott

n nThis collection brings together many of Winnicott's most important pieces, including previously unpublished talks and several essays from books and journals now difficult to obtain.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.
