Volume eight, 1967–68, is introduced by the eminent British child psychotherapist, Ann Horne. It gathers together Winnicott’s interests in play and playing, and in health, including papers on infantile schizophrenia, the squiggle game, the roots of aggression, interpretation, his significant late paper ‘The Use of an Object’, and his obituary of James Strachey, his first analyst and editor of the Standard Edition of Sigmund Freud. It also includes a number of Winnicott’s letters charting his recovery from a serious illness, from hospital in New York, to his secretary Joyce Coles.
