Donald Winnicott was a children\u2019s doctor who trained as a psychoanalyst, maintaining both disciplines throughout a long career as the two strands of his working life, to their mutual enrichment. He was close to Melanie Klein (and analysed her son), but retained his independence during the years of WWII, when the disputes between the followers of Freud and Klein were at their height, and finally emerged as a leading member of the middle group of analysts in the British Society who refused to take sides in the Freud\/Klein controversy. <\/span><\/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. When she absolutely refused to modify her views, or even consider his arguments, 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 closely related work of John Bowlby. <\/span><\/p>\n

Format: –<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Session 1: <\/strong>We will explore Winnicott\u2019s work with children during WW2 and examine his relationship with John Bowlby. They became leading figures in British psychoanalysis after the war and fundamentally changed social attitudes to the treatment of children, initiating a new kind of psychoanalysis in which the environment of the child was regarded as crucial. <\/span><\/p>\n

Session 2:<\/strong> We will critically examine the central Winnicottian notions of the \u2018good enough mother\u2019 and \u2018primary maternal preoccupation\u2019, and explore the details of 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. <\/span><\/p>\n

Session 3: <\/strong>We will examine 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. <\/span><\/p>\n

Session 4: <\/strong>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 Jacques Lacan, and explore the idea of Winnicott and Lacan as the two contrasting poles of contemporary psychoanalysis.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tutor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Keith Barrett BA PhD\u00a0<\/strong>received his first degree in philosophy from Oxford University after having spent three years working as a nursing assistant in psychiatric hospitals. It was in this practical context that Keith first encountered existentialism and psychoanalysis. He then began postgraduate studies on both Freud and Heidegger, leading finally to a PhD from the Wellcome Centre for the History of Medicine at UCL for a dissertation on \u2018Freud\u2019s Self-Analysis\u2019. Keith has been a philosophy teacher for over 20 years, and has been delivering courses at the Freud Museum for over a decade, where he has developed a series of introductory lectures on Freud, psychoanalysis after Freud, and exploring the overlap of philosophy and psychoanlaysis.<\/p>\n
