Example text

I’ve been explaining what you already know, that Winnicott was very different from the other analysts, and why. So I’ll come to literature in a bit more detail in a moment. There’s a question of what he really did with his life, and it’s very important that these first two papers, the 1930s papers in the 1958 collected edition set out a sort of plan for him. He describes himself in those as a paediatrician, and then also as a child psychiatrist practising paediatrics. I suppose if I said one of those wasn’t very popular, certainly the other wasn’t either.

My conclusion is that Winnicott’s description reflects his own experience of childhood. And the image he paints, of a little boy who had to bring vitality to his depressed mother, is just the pattern he describes for the child of a depressed mother. There is also some evidence of Winnicott’s troubled relationship with his mother. His first analyst, James Strachey, wrote a passage, that with some decoding, bears on the subject. “Winnie [his name for Winnicott] prefers his Ma to be his castrator”, Strachey (Meisel & Kendrick, 1985, p.
