Overview
D.W. Winnicott, a psychoanalyst of extraordinary grace and originality, left a body of work distinguished by fierce independence of mind, profound playfulness and technique, and passionate intelligence. Holding and Interpretation, a verbatim record of his sessions with a psychotic patient, vividly illustrates his enormous contribution to psychoanalytic theory and technique, his skill at “holding” the patient in the analytic session and providing guidance through sensitive interpretation. It is a rare working portrait of one of the true giants of psychoanalysis—“a very vast subject,” as he said, “which has the great charm of being really useful.”

Library Journal
Zetterling's autobiography reveals with startling honesty the initially brutal, finally successful life and career of the 1950s actress turned director. In frank, harsh language Zetterling tells of her early joyless, bleak life as an illegitimate child. She struggled through ignorance and poverty to establish herself as a legitimate actress who ultimately rejected the dazzle of Hollywood. Along the way there were marriages, affairs, numerous abortions, failure, and many successes. Recently Zetterling has won critical acclaim for directing documentary films. The author's use of language is stunning and her subject matter only occasionally becomes mundane. In form and content, this is a fascinating account of an unusual life. Frequent use of vulgarities will offend some readers. Terrill Brooks, Baker Coll. Lib., Flint, Mich.Book Details
