Abstract
In this paper, the author attempts to arrive at a comprehensive outline of Winnicott's developmental theory. This theory encompasses the infant's emergence from total dependence and subject/object merging to what the author refers to as relative independence and relative subject/object separation (in Winnicott's words, "separation that is a not a separation but a form of union" [1971a, p. 98]). This conceptualization is based mainly on an amalgam of Winnicott's two well-known papers, on transitional objects and phenomena (1953) and on the use of an object (1969). The author also refers to André Green's notions of the importance of the negative and of the "dead mother" in reference to Winnicott's work. To demonstrate the clinical implications of the paper, the author discusses in detail the case of Rosemary Dinnage, as described by both Winnicott and Green and as reported directly by herself.
D. W. Winnicott, andr Green, Rosemary Dinnage:关于过渡对象和对象破坏的相互作用的一些思考。
在本文中,作者试图对温尼科特的发展理论进行一个全面的概述。这一理论涵盖了婴儿从完全依赖和主客体合并到作者所说的相对独立和主客体相对分离的过程(用温尼科特的话来说,“分离不是分离,而是一种结合形式”[1971a, p. 98])。这个概念主要是基于温尼科特的两篇著名论文的综合,关于过渡对象和现象(1953)和关于对象的使用(1969)。作者还参考了温尼科特的作品,提到了安德鲁·格林关于消极和“死去的母亲”的重要性的观点。为了证明这篇论文的临床意义,作者详细讨论了迷迭香Dinnage的情况,正如温尼科特和格林所描述的那样,并直接由她自己报告。
