Description
One of the seminal texts on child development, which continues to influence contemporary ideas on parenting.
The Child, the Family, and the Outside World by D. W. Winnicott remains a pivotal work in the field of child psychiatry. In this landmark publication, re-issued on the fiftieth anniversary of Winnicott's death, the author presents his ground-breaking theories of child development and explores how children gain independence from their parents.
Throughout the book, Winnicott discusses a variety of topics, such as why babies cry, why toddlers exhibit aggression, and how to educate children about sex. Above all, he encourages parents to disregard external pressures and guilt, advising them to rely on their instincts. Winnicott's accessible and non-judgemental approach is as revolutionary now as it was in the 1960s.

About the Author
D. W. Winnicott (1896-1971) has been described by Alain de Botton as 'the greatest British psychoanalyst who ever lived'. He was the first paediatrician in Britain to train as a psychoanalyst, and his pioneering research into child development drew on over forty years of clinical practice at the Paddington Green Children's Hospital. His work is increasingly being regarded as one of the most influential contributions to psychoanalysis since Freud.
