Following on from his two earlier titles, Peter Rudnytsky takes a fresh look at the history of psychoanalysis and psychoanalytical ideas. Beginning with Freud, this book contains a series of essays that chart a roughly chronological progression through Ferenczi and Stekel, then to Winnicott, and to Winnicott's younger colleagues in the Independent group, Coltart and Little. Written by a distinguished professor and psychoanalyst, this book reflects the author's deep understanding of this subject.
