Winnicott’s Psychoanalysis of Being offers a profound exploration of Donald Winnicott’s revolutionary contributions to psychoanalysis, focusing on his unique theory of emotional development as a psychology in conceptual agreement with certain conceptions of phenomenology and modern existentialism.In this book, Leopoldo Fulgencio examines the philosophical and existential foundations of Winnicott’s work, analysing his shift from Freud’s naturalistic framework to a hermeneutic science which has as its ontological foundation the need to be and to continue to be. The book provides a detailed account of Winnicott’s developmental theory, his conception of health and the ethics of psychotherapeutic care, while offering conceptual clarifications that support deeper understanding. Readers will gain insight into how Winnicott’s ideas bridge psychoanalysis, phenomenology and existential thought in the field of psychology, making this an essential resource for both theoretical and clinical work.This book is ideal for psychoanalysts, psychologists, philosophers and graduate students interested in Winnicott’s work, emotional development and the intersection of psychoanalysis and existential thought.

‘This essential text for understanding modern psychoanalysis explores the profound resonance between Winnicott's ideas and modern existentialism and phenomenology. This scholarly work offers an in-depth reflection on the mode of being-in-the-world, serving as a profound elaboration of what Ogden defined as ontological psychoanalysis: a process of generating experience that liberates the individual from the 'dictatorship' of the anonymous impersonal mode of being. It is also a profound reflexion about the ethics of caritas.’Elias M. da Rocha Barros, Distinguished Fellow of the British Psychoanalytical Society and Training Analyst and Lecturer of the São Paulo Psychoanalytical Society
