Winnicott: Life and Work

Unlike Freud, Donald Winnicott is not a cultural icon, read in Great Books courses, revered and reviled. Unlike Jacques Lacan, he is not an intellectual cult figure, with a band of zealous disciples and an impenetrable jargon. There is no school of Winnicott; there are no courses in his methods. All this is as he wished it.

Ogden on Winnicott

The is Thomas Ogden’s reading of D. W. Winnicott’s 1945 paper, Primitive Emotional Development.” The paper contains the seeds of virtually all of Winnicott’s contributions to psychoanalysis.
