In this book, the author draws upon extensive unpublished archival sources and upon his four decades of oral history interviews to write portraits of many of the icons of mental health such as Enid Balint, Marion Milner, Ronald Laing, John Bowlby and his wife, Ursula Longstaff Bowlby, as well as numerous members of Donald Winnicott's family.
