Attachment, Play, and Authenticity: A Winnicott Primer

by Steven Tuber

"Attachment, Play, and Authenticity" is an integration of the major conceptual elements of Winnicott's theorizing on the developmental process with the uniquely inventive and evocative nature of his work as a child and adult psychoanalyst. More than 25 of his most important theoretical and clinical works are closely analyzed and presented so that the enormous breadth of his clinical and theoretical contributions to child and adult psychology and psychotherapy can be demonstrated.

As I may soon be seeing/doing child groups, this looks promising!

Winnicott's theories of the good-enough mother serving as the foundation for the True Self is still relevant to today's work in psychotherapy. The False (compliant) Self rules most of us and leads us away from our destinies.
