In recent years the work of the British psychoanalyst and paediatrician D.W. Winnicott and his contributions to the so-called object relations theory have enjoyed increasing interest. It is argued that Winnicott is one of the most original and influential figures in post-warpsychodynamical tradition, on a parwith Klein, Bion and Lacan. Winnicott's works and original concepts are presented. An examination of Winnicott's theory on early emotional development in relation to the child's facilitating environment is the principal part of the paper, specifically the turning point in development where the infant is moving from a dependence of the mother's empathic »holding« to higher integration and independence. In specific relation to this crucial process Winnicott with his concepts of transitional phenomena and objects has examined the basic aspects of human object relating which in tum determine later object relationships, including the treatment setting. In addition to theory the article examines Winnicott's views on therapy; finally Winnicott's works and influence are related to his personal background and to the evolution of the psychoanalytical movement.
