Description
Donald Winnicott's life and work are widely studied in psychoanalysis. Yet many mental health professionals struggle to engage with his extensive published writings. Professor Brett Kahr has addressed this challenge by creating a unique "posthumous interview" with Donald Woods Winnicott, inviting him to discuss his life and work over a cup of tea. This book offers a thorough overview of Winnicott's corpus of writings, set within the historical context in which he developed his pioneering psychoanalytical contributions. The result is a highly creative exercise in "imaginative non-fiction", making it an ideal introduction for novices and a valuable resource for experienced professionals alike. The book features original drawings by Alison Bechdel, winner of the MacArthur Foundation "Genius" award, based on unpublished photographs from Professor Kahr's archive. This unique blend of biography, psychoanalysis, and art makes it a fascinating read for anyone interested in Winnicott's work.
