More About Winnicott

Course Overview: 

Winnicott made unique contributions to psychoanalysis, offering a two-person model of psychoanalysis. In this seminar, we will further examine his innovative theoretical ideas, such as understanding the mother/infant dyad as a metaphor for the importance of environment in adult clinical theory. We will look at how he saw play as a key method of communication and movement for therapist and patient; how he linked aggression with growth leading to the patient developing “a capacity for concern” (the depressive position); and think about his contribution in terms of race, gender, and sexuality.

Course Objectives: 
  1. Participants will understand the self as a paradoxical relationship between communicating and the need to preserve a private inviolable core which is understood through the process of holding and use clinical examples from their work.
  2. Participants will be able to elucidate how Winnicott revised Klein’s theories of aggression and of the depressive position.
  3. Participants will explain the key elements of play and how to utilize it in clinical hour.
  4. Participants will list key elements in the use of the squiggle technique and how to use it with children.
  5. Participants will describe how Winnicott views aggressiveness as a key component in use of an object.
  6. Participants will list essential feelings in psychotic processes.
  7. ​Participants will explain the underlying communication of anti-social tendencies.
