This title is a celebration of the life of Nina Coltart, who had a career in medicine and psychoanalysis and was author of bestselling titles in psychotherapy The Baby and the Bathwater and How to Survive as a Psychotherapist. The book contains a large number of contributions by specialists in the field including Michael Brearley, Susan Budd and Anthony Molino.The book offers a long-overdue tribute to Nina Coltart (1927-1997), who was a leading figure in the Independent Group of the British Psychoanalytical Society and, indeed, one of the greatest psychoanalysts of the twentieth century. In addition to providing a comprehensive assessment of Coltart's life and work by patients, supervisees, friends, family members, and readers, the editors have compiled all of her hitherto unpublished or uncollected writings, making this book a capstone of her legacy to psychoanalysis.
Gillian Preston, nee Coltart, trained as a primary school teacher. She established a branch of the Preschool Play Group Movement in Bournemouth and, in the early 1980s, joined the newly formed Adult Literacy Scheme. She worked for many years as a Welfare Officer for the Donkey Sanctuary, Sidmouth, Devon and is currently involved with local groups of Friends of the Earth and Amnesty International. Peter L. Rudnytsky is Professor of English at the University of Florida, a Visiting Scholar in the Psychoanalytic Studies Program at Emory University, and the editor of 'American Imago'.
