The volume furnishes a wonderfully rich overview of how Winnicott conceptualized and worked with healthy and unhealthy persons as it traces the ways he conceived such elements of psychic life as self-other relations, the problem of envy, fantasy and reality, emotional development, and human creativity. To have in one place these essays on Winnicott will facilitate further reexaminations of the ideas and therapies of this important analyst. * Choice *
