Presenter: Ann De Lancey, PhD

[47 pages]

As this seminar is both an introduction to child analysis and a quick dive into the opening phase of analysis, we will focus on Winnicott’s concept of regression to dependence, only giving a brief nod to his predecessors  and focusing forward to current reformulations of his theory and toward and including an understanding of racialized trauma.

A note about the reading. I am well aware that when you in the child as well as the core program, there is an enormous amount of reading. Please focus on the first article listed. If you don’t have time to read the full second article, maybe just read the introduction and conclusion of the secondary article. The optional articles are just that. For your reference!

As you read you may want to keep the following questions/issues in mind:

  • Three modes of functioning. Regression to
    • Fixation
    • Good fixation
    • Thoroughgoing regression or regression to dependence
  • The difference between a more flattened view of stages and a fluid, free-flowing functioning and symbolization with co-existence and interlocking matrices
  • How is trauma racialized

Overall Learning Objectives­

  1. To enable clinical associates to articulate a more fluid way of considering Winnicott’s three modes of functioning
  2. To be able to describe the relationship between trauma and après coup
  3. To be able to understand to what extend we use countertransference
  4. To cite the advantages and disadvantages of physical contact
  5. To be able to articulate what it means when we say that white-body supremacy and our adaptations to it are in our blood
  6. To cite the difference between clean pain and dirty pain

Clinical Impact of the Knowledge or Skills Gained

  1. Clinical associates will have a greater ability to name, tolerate, and put into perspective their patients, and their own, defenses against and feelings about their own racism.
  2. Clinical associates will open themselves to the satisfactions and joys of working with the regression to dependence and racialized trauma and do so more often
  3. Clinical associates will enact more creative responses to regression and trauma
