Dear Matthew,
Thanks for the reference - another book I intended to read but never
got round to - I will have a look. Speaking as a 'Lacanian', of sorts,
I feel a little responsible for this subsumption of Winnicott; actually
his personal relations with Lacan were fascinating. Another thing I'm
amazed by is that no-one has done comparative work on Lacan and Bion,
considering the difficulty of both this may not be a surprise.
