Sobre el Autor

D.W. Winnicott was a prominent British pediatrician and psychoanalyst who made significant contributions to the fields of psychoanalysis and developmental psychology. His work focused on the importance of the early relationship between the mother and child, emphasizing the role of the environment in healthy emotional development. Winnicott introduced the concept of the 'transitional object,' which describes how children use certain items to help them navigate the transition from dependence to independence. This concept has had a lasting impact on both psychoanalytic theory and child psychology.
