February 25, 2022 — Klein’s influence
[34 pages]
[34 pages]
Winnicott was, throughout his career, in dialogue with his peers and colleagues, especially Melanie Klein. Winnicott found much in Klein’s theories that enlivened and enlarged his own views; he was also often at odds with what he saw as Klein’s avoidance of external reality as a factor, and her commitment to instincts and destructiveness. The work we read in this session illustrates the seriousness with which he responded to her ideas about the nature of psychic life, and incorporated them into his own, and how seriously he took his own goal of articulating developmental theory.
