Description
Donald Winnicott's comprehensive overview of psychoanalytic theory offers insight into key concepts such as psychosomatics, the Oedipus complex and infantile sexuality. Written in 1990, this work represents Winnicott's major attempt to synthesise his ideas, which were scattered across numerous clinical papers and short expositions. The book explores various aspects of psychoanalytic theory, including aggression, transitional objects and manic defence. Considered one of Winnicott's most influential posthumous works, this volume showcases the author's unique perspective on these topics. A foundational text in the field of object relations, it remains a valuable resource for understanding key principles of psychoanalysis. First published in 1990, Human Nature provides a thorough examination of Winnicott's ideas and their significance in the context of psychoanalytic theory.
