—————————————————————————————————————-<\/p>\n

Donald Winnicott was a children\u2019s doctor who trained as a psychoanalyst.<\/h2>\n

He maintained both disciplines throughout his career as the two strands of his working life, to their mutual enrichment. He was close to\u00a0Melanie Klein<\/a>\u00a0(and analysed her son), but during the years of WWII, when the disputes between the followers of Freud and Klein were at their most stormy, he retained his independence. He became a leading member of the middle group of analysts in the British Society who refused to take sides in the Freud\/Klein controversy.<\/p>\n

His principal disagreement with Klein was over his insistence that the quality of the early environment provided by the mother is the crucial factor making possible healthy development, including the development of a \u2018true self\u2019.<\/p>\n

When she absolutely refused to modify her views in response to his criticisms, he was forced to clarify and articulate his own understanding of the dynamics of the early infant-mother relationship \u2013 creating the set of ideas that became his unique contribution to psychoanalytic thought. We will explore the ideas that have made Winnicott one of the most influential figures in contemporary psychoanalysis, and examine the related work of Michael Balint, Harry Guntrip and John Bowlby.<\/p>\n

Course layout:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Session 1: We will critically examine the central Winnicottian notions of the \u2018good enough mother\u2019 and \u2018primary maternal preoccupation\u2019, and explore his profoundly social view of early development, reviewing the crucial dimensions of the \u2018good enough\u2019 mother\u2019s care – \u2018holding\u2019, \u2018handling\u2019, and \u2018object relating\u2019 – through which the baby gathers a sense of continuity and coherence that gradually coalesces into a personal self. We will also study his ideas on the consequences of \u2018environmental failure\u2019 in terms of psychosis and the development of a \u2018false self\u2019.<\/p>\n

Session 2: This session will focus on Winnicott\u2019s theory of \u2018transitional phenomena\u2019 – those symbols of the border between the small child\u2019s early fusion with the mother and his dawning realisation of separateness \u2013 and his account of how \u2018transitional phenomena\u2019 later move beyond the single object (eg: a teddy bear or a piece of blanket) to words, play, culture and religion as forms of experience taking place in an \u2018intermediate area\u2019 where the inner world and the outer world meet, and we are not required to decide finally which an object belongs to.<\/p>\n

Session 3: We will explore Winnicott\u2019s view of the therapeutic setting as supremely transitional, and his belief that without play there can be no therapy: that when the patient is enabled to play, growth and development naturally follow. We will also bring Winnicott\u2019s work into dialogue with the work of Michael Balint, Harry Guntrip and John Bowlby.<\/p>","excerpt":"","slug":"psychoanalysis-after-freud-winnicott-and-object-relations-2","image":{"url":"https:\/\/www.freud.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/winnicott.jpg","id":5478,"extension":"jpg","width":400,"height":291,"sizes":{"thumbnail":{"width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.freud.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/winnicott-150x150.jpg"},"medium":{"width":350,"height":255,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.freud.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/winnicott-350x255.jpg"},"post-thumbnail":{"width":60,"height":60,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.freud.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/winnicott-60x60.jpg"},"400x300":{"width":400,"height":291,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.freud.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/winnicott-400x291.jpg"},"slide":{"width":1600,"height":600,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","cpt_last_cropping_data":{"x":0,"y":50,"x2":400,"y2":200,"original_width":400,"original_height":291},"url":"https:\/\/www.freud.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/winnicott-1600x600.jpg"}},"optimus":{"profit":"38","quantity":100,"webp":0}},"all_day":false,"start_date":"2020-07-29 09:00:00","start_date_details":{"year":"2020","month":"07","day":"29","hour":"09","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"end_date":"2020-08-31 23:30:00","end_date_details":{"year":"2020","month":"08","day":"31","hour":"23","minutes":"30","seconds":"00"},"utc_start_date":"2020-07-29 08:00:00","utc_start_date_details":{"year":"2020","month":"07","day":"29","hour":"08","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_end_date":"2020-08-31 22:30:00","utc_end_date_details":{"year":"2020","month":"08","day":"31","hour":"22","minutes":"30","seconds":"00"},"timezone":"UTC+1","timezone_abbr":"","cost":"\u00a325 \u2013 \u00a330","cost_details":{"currency_symbol":"\u00a3","currency_code":"","currency_position":"prefix","values":["25","30"]},"website":"","show_map":false,"show_map_link":true,"hide_from_listings":false,"sticky":false,"featured":false,"categories":[{"name":"Courses","slug":"courses","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":7,"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","description":"","parent":0,"count":154,"filter":"raw","id":7,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/www.freud.org.uk\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories\/7","collection":"https:\/\/www.freud.org.uk\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories"}},{"name":"On Demand","slug":"on-demand","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":82,"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","description":"","parent":0,"count":75,"filter":"raw","id":82,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/www.freud.org.uk\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories\/82","collection":"https:\/\/www.freud.org.uk\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories"}}],"tags":[{"name":"Psychoanalysis After Freud","slug":"psychoanalysis-after-freud","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":72,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":10,"filter":"raw","id":72,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/www.freud.org.uk\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/tags\/72","collection":"https:\/\/www.freud.org.uk\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/tags"}}],"venue":{"id":1685,"author":"2","status":"publish","date":"2018-02-07 18:06:47","date_utc":"2018-02-07 18:06:47","modified":"2018-02-07 18:06:47","modified_utc":"2018-02-07 18:06:47","url":"https:\/\/www.freud.org.uk\/venue\/freud-museum-london\/","venue":"Freud Museum London","slug":"freud-museum-london","address":"20 Maresfield Gardens","city":"London","country":"United Kingdom","zip":"NW3 5SX","phone":"020 7435 2002","website":"www.freud.org.uk","json_ld":{"@type":"Place","name":"Freud Museum London","description":"","url":"","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","streetAddress":"20 Maresfield Gardens","addressLocality":"London","postalCode":"NW3 5SX","addressCountry":"United Kingdom"},"telephone":"020 7435 2002","sameAs":"www.freud.org.uk"},"show_map":true,"show_map_link":true,"global_id":"www.freud.org.uk?id=1685","global_id_lineage":["www.freud.org.uk?id=1685"]},"organizer":[],"json_ld":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Event","name":"Psychoanalysis After Freud: Winnicott and Object Relations – On Demand","description":"<p>Please note: this six- hour course has already taken place, tickets are for recording access only.
