Human Nature — D. W. Winnicott

Winnicott brings together his account of emotional development and psychoanalytic theory.

The book examines relationships between the body, the psyche, and the mind.

It follows the development of integration, a sense of self, and contact with external reality.

Early relationships and the environment form part of this account of health and disturbance.

The unfinished work offers an overview of ideas otherwise spread across his clinical writings.
