Child, Family and the Outside World

D. Winnicott, one of the most famous child psychoanalysts, combines knowledge drawn from pediatrics, child psychiatry, and psychoanalysis. The author discusses such important issues that concern parents: • proper feeding, • causes of crying, • the importance of play, • the formation of independence, • and the causes of shyness, • as well as serious problems such as theft and lying. A significant part of the book is devoted to the role of aggression in the development of the child, as well as the sources of fear of dependence.
