Description

In this innovative book, Amanda Norman looks at D. W. Winnicott’s theory of Transitional Objects in early years practice, the ‘good-enough’ parent, and the relationship between the young child and primary carer in relation to the value of Transitional Objects. Norman looks at how an understanding of psychological theories can be useful when caring for young children in both educational and research contexts, aiding those interested in understanding therapeutic relationships, and applying the principles to promote the use of Transitional Objects in their work.

Throughout the book, Norman uses case studies from parents, children, and practitioner’s perspectives in supporting physical and emotional development.

Through these, she shows how observing Transitional Objects is particularly relevant to living in the west, where a low touch, high technology culture prevails, compounded by the recent pandemic.

This volume contributes to a timely connection between the understanding and application of therapeutic approaches within early educational contexts.

Including engaging exercises at the end of each chapter, this book is a perfect companion for those approaching the concept of Transitional Objects for the first time. Transitional Objects in Early Childhood is vital reading for those with an interest in the psychology of the infant/young child and their relationship and realities with the external world.

It will be of particular interest to those specialising in infant and child care who wish to develop their knowledge of emotional development through play, as well as those working in a variety of social, education, and health contexts.
