When Winnicott Walked Out on Klein: Controversy as Well as Dialectic

Susan Kavaler-Adler, PhD, ABPP, D. Litt., NCPsyA

Where: New York University, Kimmel Center for University Life; 60 Washington Square South, New York City

When: Friday, June 1st, 2018 @ 10:50 am - 11:40 am

    1 CEU

Abstract:

Melanie Klein was in the middle of reading “Envy and Gratitude,” declaring that hostile aggression originated from birth and was then projected outward as envious persecution. Winnicott walked out of the meeting in the middle, and declared “I am no longer a Kleinian.”  After rejections from the Kleinians of his new theories on “the environment,” Winnicott began to teach outside the “Great Controversies” of the British Psychoanalytic Society. The Polarization is Historic. The theories are Dialectic!!!

Learning Points:

At the end of this educational activity, its participants will be able to: 1) analyze the resolution of theoretical polarization into theoretical dialectic;

2) apply his/her understanding of aggression, based on the work of two British object relations theorists, Melanie Klein and D. W. Winnicott;

3) illustrate a) the critical separation between the clinical theory of Melanie Klein and her

metapsychology; and b) the psychological transition in the life and work of D. W. Winnicott.
