Such an amazing book and the insights provided were so well founded. 10/10

[Nina Todorova · Rating 5 out of 5]

Сборник от доклади представени от Доналд Уиникът. Книга, която не се чете за седмица заради сложния изказ, но думите са толкова пълни и смислени, че не се намират напразно написани изречения. Велик изследовател на човешката психика с фин поглед и дълбока душевност! Всеки, който търси да задълбочи познанията си по психоанализа трябва да я прочете.

[Marty Babits · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another classic by Winnicott. This is chock-full of articles that therapists study when they go through post-graduate training programs. Technical, not particularly reader-friendly but, when they are good they are very very good. When they are great, which is not rare, they are fantastic.

Excelent!

[Brandon Prince · Rating 5 out of 5]

Single most important text I’ve read as a parent (so far). Contains the brilliant essay, “Hate in the Countertransference”.

[Mawr · Rating 4 out of 5]

An excellent introduction not only to Winnicott's psychoanalytic thought, but a tour of the evolution of it from the special psychological problems he originally faced as a paediatrician, finding in Kleinian object relations theory solutions to those problems. A bit dry at times, but ultimately most informative.
