Between Winnicott and Lacan

D. W. Winnicott and Jacques Lacan are arguably two of the most important psychoanalytic theoreticians since Freud, and, somewhat ironically, seemingly two of the most incompatible. Lewis Kirshner and his colleagues attempt to demonstrate how the intellectual contributions of these two figures - such as Winnicott's self and Lacan's subject - complement productively despite their apparentcontrast. Throughout the book, their major concepts are clarified and differentiated, but always with an eye toward points of intersection and a more effective psychoanalytic practice. Furthermore, these contributors address the Winnicott-Lacan relationship itself and the evolution of their respective theories, peppered with detailed clinical examples of how integrations of their ideas have been utilized with patients directly.
