What are the origins of creativity and how can we develop it - whether within ourselves or in others? Not only does Playing and Reality address these questions, it also tackles many more that surround the fundamental issue of the individual self and its relationship with the outside world. In this landmark book of twentieth-century psychology, Winnicott shows the reader how, through the attentive nurturing of creativity from the earliest years, every individual has the opportunity to enjoy a rich and rewarding cultural life. Today, as the 'hothousing' and testing of children begins at an ever-younger age, Winnicott's classic text is a more urgent and topical read than ever before.

Seller's Description:
Good. Good condition. A copy that has been read but remains intact. May contain markings such as bookplates, stamps, limited notes and highlighting, or a few light stains.
This particular book by Winnicott gives insight into the roots of civilization, beginning with the mother/baby dyad as the core.
The solicitude of the "ordinarily devoted mother" is seen as the template for human beings relating intimately.
Play in the safe knowledge that mother/other provides the secure frame through her concerned presence is considered the cradle of cultural life.
The book is written in almost poetic language and should be present on any thoughtful reader's shelf.
