The Language of Winnicott

Reviews / Votes

THIS IS THE HARDBACK EDITION - for the paperback edition see catalogue number 24508Thomas Ogden introduces Abram's dictionary by emphasising the experience of reading Winnicott's words. Abram's accomplishment, he writes, is comparable to the Oxford English Dictionary which offers the reader "the history of the way a word or term has been used and how that usage has changed and is in the process of further change". The hall mark of The Language of Winnicott is that it demonstrates how Winnicott's use of words creates a version of psychoanalysis that is a "very living thing".Knud Hjulmand has been working on creating a definitive Winnicott bibliography. For the first time this new edition of The Language of Winnicott will include the most recently revised, chronological and alphabetical, bibliography of all the published works of D.W.Winnicott.
