Author:Adam Phillips

Winnicott

D.W. Winnicott’s remarkable books, including The Piggle, Home Is Where We Start From and The Child, Family and the Outside World (all published by Penguin) are still read, valued and argued with over thirty years after his death. Adam Phillips's short book, now issued with a new preface, is an elegant, thoughtful attempt to get to grips with a writer, paediatrician and psychiatrist whose work with children and mothers (and the wider implications their relationship has for all of us) continues to be profoundly relevant and fascinating.

Reviews

The best living essayist writing in English

—— John Gray

He's brilliant

—— John Carey

Phillips radiates infectious charm

—— Sunday Times

Reading Phillips, you may be amused, vexed, dazzled. But the one thing you will never be is bored

—— Observer

He is perhaps single-handedly continuing the tradition of the world's best essayists

—— Gaby Wood

Eminently readable . . . presents brilliant and highly original advice on how to get someone to do something

—— V.S.Ramachandran

Flipnosis offers some powerful insights into the art and science of getting people to do what you want. You can't fault Dutton's eye for a good story . . . The book contains plenty of tricks to help you get your own way or turn around a sticky situation

—— New Scientist

Once you start reading this absorbing book, you see attempted flipnosis everywhere - and there's no better example than the word 'flipnosis' itself. Having promised you the secrets of this great phenomenon, Dutton keeps you waiting for them until well into the second half of the book, by which time you are well and truly hooked. He is no mean flipnotist, which I'm sure he'll take as the greatest possible compliment

—— The Daily Mail

Fascinating, intelligent and accessible . . . Full of useful techniques, this book will help you get your own way in every aspect of life

—— Scarlet Magazine

As fascinating as it is alarming . . . Read it. Apply it

—— Men's Health

Truly fascinating

—— Time Out

Highly articulate … Her memories are real, not recovered

—— The Times
