Those attending were familiar with Winnicotts works; indeed, many were expert. But a question remained. How do you use Winnicotts concepts in the clinical space? Bollas not only addresses that question but also writes about his own clinical formulations atthe time, such as the transformational object or the unthought known.Each chapter contains a unique and distinct talk, as delivered and suffused with the aliveness that is a hallmarkof in-person lectures, with Bollas exhibiting a remarkable flexibility of scope and focus in order to meet the attendant groups clinical interests. The book teems with questions of Winnicottian psychoanalytic theory and practice no less relevant today than when the lectures were first delivered. These questions identify the subtle and complex positions taken by Winnicott, as understood by Bollas and other analysts in the United Kingdom and in Italy, who worked with him and knew how to make useof the Winnicott object.One of Winnicotts literary editors, Bollas brings a unique perspective in real time to the challenges Winnicotts thinking posed to the psychoanalytical,literary, and intellectual culture in the United Kingdom and abroad in the decade after Winnicotts death.
