ABSTRACT
Ernest Jones was a pioneer in illuminating the cultural sciences with psychoanalytic understanding. Jones, and Glover also, were thoroughgoing in telling the educated public about psychoanalysis, but primarily they were committed to creating a band of independent-minded analytic thinkers, who could also work together as a team. Thus, with clinical psychiatrists and non-Freudian psychotherapists, as well as with other helping professions, contact remained sporadic until after the Second World War when Jones’s and Glover’s influence in the British Society had waned. An exception to Jones’s embargo was Donald Winnicott’s work. Starting outside analysis, Winnicott was one of the first great exponents of creating an interface in data and theory in both directions with other professions. The applications of analysis he made were more than just telling others about psychoanalytic understanding of a subject, though he was a master of popularization.
