Email time

I have been reading through my books, and picking out the parts I want to use for my project. D.W. Winicott has a lot to say about my topic, and he will be the main commentary that I will be using. In his book "playing and reality" he talks about how "playing" influences a childs psycological development. Under this category of "playing" falls the idea of comfort objects. 

PETER RUDNYTSKY (Disclaimer: I had to copy and paste his name because I cant spell it, so sorry about the font change and capital letters.) Anyways, He wrote a book that comments on D.W. Winnicots work. I am going to send him an email and see if he responds. Hopefully he will respond and let me interview him/ answer some of my questions!
