"Just as Winnicott is being officially canonised as one of the 'masters' of psychoanalysis * just as the myth of Winnicott as the maverick genius of psychoanalysis begins to take hold so we needn't think about himChristopher Bollas's remarkable new book refreshes our memory of what psychoanalysis is in the light of Winnicott's work; and shows us that Winnicott cannot, like all the other so-called masters, be appropriated. This is not simply the best book about Winnicott, it is an extraordinary book about what psychoanalysis might be after Winnicott."" Adam Phillips *"
