As I said in announcing the new Klein eGroup, when I took part in setting up the Object Relations eGroup, I assumed that the forum would be devoted to Klein, Fairbairn, Winnicott and more general issues in the object relations tradition. This has not occurred. By contrast, the Bion forum is thriving. I draw the conclusion that there is a place for a forum devoted to Winnicott and the people and ideas in the tradition which he began. Since his writings are so allusive and his ideas are hard to get clear, I believe that his work would greatly benefit from being mulled over by sympathetic people.
I will also in due course set up a D. W. Winnicott Home Page with references, links and other pertinent materials.
One of the things I hope will flourish on this eGroup is that people will draw others’ attention to new publications and offer comments on and reviews of them.
