Synopsis "Home is Where we Start From: Essays by a Psychoanalyst (in English)"

His ideas have influenced the diverse psychoanalytic schools of Anna Freud, Melanie Klein, and Hans Kohut. But his reach extends far beyond professional circles: his talks to general audiences over the years won him enormous numbers of followers among parents and teachers who have found his observations rich in penetrating insight. This collection brings together many of Winnicott's most important pieces, including previously unpublished talks and several essays from books and journals now difficult to obtain.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.

(1896-1971)Pediatra y psicoanalista inglés, uno de los grandes referentes de la corriente psicoanalítica posterior a Freud. Estudió medicina en la Universidad de Cambridge. Durante la Primera Guerra Mundial fue reclutado y sirvió como cirujano. Una vez concluido su servicio pudo terminar su carrera, especializándose en la rama de la pediatría. Mientras estudiaba pediatría, comenzó a mostrar interés por el psicoanálisis freudiano al conocer a Ernest Jones, psicoanalista y biógrafo de Sigmund Freud, el cual le animó a que comenzara su Análisis Didáctico con James Strachey, psicoanálisis que continuó más tarde con Joan Rivière. Posteriormente, Donald Winnicott ingresó como miembro en la Sociedad Psicoanálitica Británica de la que llegó a ser presidente al final de su vida.
