The greatest British psychoanalyst who ever lived. He writes beautifully and simply about the problems of daily life. ALAIN DE BOTTON
The pediatrician and child psychiatrist D. W. WINNICOTT changed the way we think about childhood by placing the parent-infant relationship at the heart of human happiness and encouraging mothers and fathers to trust their instincts. In this important work, he traces the development of a child from its first weeks until it finds its place in the wider world, touching on everything from crying and feeding to shame, jealousy, independence, and anger.
His simple, human, and non-dogmatic approach continues to influence our understanding of child-rearing today.
'His writing is clear, his manner friendly, and his years of experience provide many wise insights into children's behavior and parental attitudes.' British Journal of Psychology
