Therapeutic Consultations in Child Psychiatry

Donald Winnicott (1896-1971) was trained in paediatrics, a profession that he practiced to the end of his life, in particular at the Paddington Green Children's Hospital. He began analysis with James Strachey in 1923, became a member of the British Psycho-Analytical Society in 1935, and twice served as its President. He was also a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and of the British Psychological Society.

'A very rich source of child psychiatric material.The book as a whole illuminates so much of what Winnicott wrote before its composition that its publication could be seen as representing the culmination of his life's work.'- James R. Hood, Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry'Winnicott is truly at his best... I cannot conceive of anyone reading these descriptions without being enriched in his understanding of his children, his parents, and indeed of himself.'- Charles Rycroft, New York Review of Books
