ABSTRACT

The writing of this book has itself been a personal journey for me. When I began, I knew I wanted to understand Winnicott better and to apply his ideas to couple therapy. I hope that this fundamental goal has been reached. It would be very satisfying if others pick up this goal, since it seems to me that we are at a very early stage in understanding Winnicott’s concepts as applied not just to infants but to the raising and parenting of couples.
