oh these are psycho ANALYSTS – no wonder I hadn’t heard of them; I usually steer away from psychoanalysists because they often don’t make sense to me.
However, if I find some that DO, then I guess I found what works for my way of thinking.
Apparently Winnicott came up with (or was a part of – haven’t read yet) the British object relations theory – so I’ll see what that is.
