The author's lexicon - The Language of Winnicott - has proved to be the definitive comprehensive guide to Winnicott's thought since it was first published in 1996, Winnicott's centenary Year. The twenty-two entries represent the major conceptualisations in Winnicott's theories and take the reader on a journey through his writings that span from 1931 to 1971. Thus the volume is an anthology of Winnicott's writings. This new edition expands on each original entry predicated on the author's research discoveries, including archival material, over the past decade.

Chronological list

The Chronological List contains every known published work by Winnicott, including original contributions to collected works, arranged by year of first published appearance. Inclusions in original books and collections by the author are listed giving the page numbers in the respective Winnicott book. Reprints and translations are excluded. Work from a single year is designated alphabetically (e.g. 1971a, 1971b), in the order: (i) books; (ii) original papers in journals or collected works; and (iii) others (reviews, forewords, letters etc.). Within each category, order is determined by the first significant word in the title, using the definitive English version. Indications of any earlier year of presentation or writing are added in square brackets. There is only one entry for identical papers/titles, and correspondence (many of them published in: 1987b) is organized in strict chronological order of writing.

Earlier versions of the bibliography were published in the Brazilian journal Natureza Humana [1999, 1 (2), pp. 459–517] and in the French translation of Jan Abram’s The Language of Winnicott (1st edition): Le Langage de Winnicott. Dictionnaire Explicatif des Termes Winnicottiens, transl. Cléopâtre Athanassiou-Popesco (Paris: Édition Popesco, 2001), pp. 367–404. It is intended that this version be further extended for the proposed Collected Psychoanalytic Works of D. W. Winnicott, edited by Jan Abram.
