This three-hour course will focus on Winnicott’s celebrated 1971 text ‘Playing and Reality’. The work opens with his classic 1951 paper ‘Transitional Objects and Transitional Phenomena’ and the chapters that follow set out and explain the later development of his thinking. Topics receiving detailed treatment include ‘Play’, ‘Creativity’ and ‘The location of cultural experience’, and by the end of the work Winnicot has set out a profound philosophy of the human condition – taking in science, art and religion – based on a life time of psychoanalytic observation and reflection.
