Concebido como una recopilacion de todas las charlas radiofonicas que dio Winnicott en la BBC a partir de 1955, el presente volumen aborda problemas fundamentales de la infancia, en un estilo claramente pensado para los padres: desde las tensiones de la edad preescolar, pasando por su costumbre de chupar ropa u objetos de tela, hasta la necesidad de imponerle prohibiciones.

Donald W. Winnicott was born into a well-to-do nonconformist family in Plymouth, England. He started his career as a pediatrician at the Paddington Green Children's Hospital in London. While working there, he developed an increasing interest in, and concern for, the emotional problems of his parents, as well as some of his patients. Hence, he later became a psychoanalyst and child psychiatrist. Twice president of the British Psycho-Analytical Society and the author of many books, Winnicott took the theory of emotional development back into earliest infancy, even before birth. His ideas, along with those of his contemporaries, led to the development of the British "object relations" school within psychoanalysis. This focused on familiar, inanimate objects that children use to counter anxiety during times of stress. (Bowker Author Biography)
