The Child, The Family, And The Outside World Av D. W. Winnicott

<b>''The greatest British psychoanalyst who ever lived. He writes beautifully and simply about the problems of everyday life'' Alain de Botton</b><br><br>The paediatrician and child psychiatrist D. W. Winnicott changed the way we think about childhood by placing the parent-infant relationship at the heart of human happiness, and by encouraging mothers and fathers to trust their own instincts. In this landmark work he follows the development of a child from their first weeks to finding their place in the wider world, touching on everything from crying and feeding to shyness, jealousy, independence and anger. His plain-speaking, humane and non-judgemental approach continues to influence our understanding of parenting today. <br><br>''His style is lucid, his manner friendly, and his years of experience provide much wise insight into child behaviour and parental attitudes'' <i>British Journal of Psychology</i>
