title: Donald Woods Winnicott (1896-1971): a brief introduction.
abstract: This essay offers a guide to the trajectory of Winnicott's theories from 1919 to 1971. Part one surveys the archives, publications, and the collected works project. Part two is divided into four sections to illustrate one foundation phase followed by three major theoretical phases. Each section outlines the evolution of Winnicott's thought and presents the seminal conceptions of each phase. At the end of each section the publications and key papers are tabulated with brief notes. Table 5 shows the posthumous publications. A new chronology is added.
