- More about Finding the Piggle: Reconsidering D. W. Winnicott's Most Famous Child Case

The Piggle is one of the most famous and beloved child cases in the history of psychoanalysis, a two-year-old girl suffering from terrible nightmares, depression, and self-harming behaviors. Donald Winnicott, a renowned psychoanalyst, wrote up the case and allowed it to be published with the posthumous help of his wife Clare and his student, Ishak Ramsey. By inviting the world into his consulting room and allowing the inner world of the very young child to be seen, Winnicott opened up a new understanding of the child's psyche.
Seven psychoanalysts rediscover the Piggle, meeting her as an adult and re-scrutinizing the case as it was formulated by Winnicott. They suggest new understandings of the Piggle's material, and the book features an interview with the adult Piggle, discussing her recollections of the treatment and its impact many years on. The book also includes a meticulous historical overview from an investigation of "The Piggle" archive, a critical, detailed reappraisal of the case, and reflections from several authors on how modern psychoanalytic technique might be applied to the case if the Piggle were to be seen in 2020.
In this age, when the voice of the child needs to be heard more than ever, Finding The Piggle gives new life to this classic piece of psychoanalytic literature. It emphasizes the importance of the child's feelings and conflicts, and provides a comprehensive exploration that allows a new generation of clinicians and others to rediscover this important case and think about it anew.
