Book, Children and Their World, A 7/22[LS]

In The Child and His World, Winnicott addresses the mother-child, parent-child, school-child phases, as well as the typical problems of the initial phase of human evolution, the difficulties and concrete questions about the only child, twins, the stealing and lying, in addition to the first attempts at independence. In the words of psychoanalyst Flávia Maria de Paula Soares, who wrote the careful and sensitive Presentation of this new edition of the book, Winnicott “expresses himself with clarity and apparent simplicity in his language, using of everyday words and common sense, which make their teachings accessible to mothers, their main interlocutors”. However, this concern with teaching does not harm scientific rigor. On the contrary, “the terms used in Winnicottian psychoanalysis gain the status of technical notions and concepts”. “And what do you discover in your texts? The preciousness of technical depth for those who know the creative power of their psychoanalysis and the consequences that can guide professional practice.”?
