Volume 9, 1969-1971, introduced by the Swedish training analyst and former president of the Swedish Society, Arne Jemstedt, contains a selection of letters from the last years of Winnicott's life. The work includes further developments of his work on envy, the use of an object, psychosomatics, the impact of the mother's unconscious, living creatively, communication, adolescence and rebellion and the final version of transitional objects and transitional phenomena. There are also topical pieces on the moon landing, the contraceptive pill and the building of the Berlin Wall. The volume includes Winnicott's introduction to Playing and Reality (his most successful book), published in 1971 after his death. Finally, this volume includes a section of various short notes and ideas which could not be reliably dated.
