‘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
