A draft of a review by Winnicott of Anna Freud’s Normality and Pathology in Childhood, including a detailed synopsis of the chapters of the book. Winnicott describes the book as an up-to-date statement of Anna Freud’s theory, whose idea is ‘not so much an idea as an orthodoxy which may be used by anyone’.
