This book focuses on one of D. W. Winnicott's most enduring and resonant formulations, the True and False Self. It is a salutary reminder of Winnicott's capacity as the acclaimed advocate of maternal "holding"—also for sharpness and for the sudden piercing stab of recognition.
Introduction -- Ego distortion in terms of True and False Self -- Hunt the slipper -- Winnicott and Lacan: selfhood versus subjecthood -- The emergence of a sense of Self, or, The development of “I-ness” -- Looking after the Self -- The Self: what is it?
