Amid the swirling issues of the day, we can too easily lose track of what—in the lengthening history of psychoanalysis—remains vital over time. As our ongoing series of reviews of Winnicott’s Collected Works shows,¹ analysts writing decades ago can seem prescient; we may, in our zeal to build toward the future, overlook the groundwork they have laid. Like a well-loved novel, a psychoanalytic text yields new meanings as a reader matures.

在当今纷繁复杂的问题中，我们很容易忘记什么——在精神分析的漫长历史中——随着时间的推移仍然至关重要。正如我们正在进行的对温尼科特全集的系列评论所显示的那样，几十年前的^一位分析师似乎很有先见之明；我们可能，在我们建设未来的热情中，会忽视他们已经奠定的基础。就像一部广受欢迎的小说一样，随着读者的成熟，精神分析文本会产生新的含义。
