October 18, 2024 — Winnicott — Play and transitional experience
[29 pages]
In his work on play and transitional experience, beginning with his early conceptualization of the transitional object, Winnicott touched on every aspect of psychic life. In these papers, Winnicott explores the nature of objects, processes of internalization, and the characteristics of the ‘potential space’ required for growth. In these works we see Winnicott expressing the centrality of freedom, empathy and creativity in developing fulfilling lives.
