Winnicott, D. W. (1965). The Capacity to be Alone

In some of my studies this morning I was reminded of the great pediatrician D. W. Winnicott and his observations of children and the capacity to be alone as associated with emotional maturity.

I therefore thought I would read that short chapter. The link and reference for the work is as follows:
