The Clinical Application of Winnicott's Theories of Playing and Reality

Presenter: Eileen Keller, PhD
When: April 3, 2009 (Friday) Time: 12:30 - 2 p.m.
Where: Ann Martin Center

Winnicott's contributions to psychoanalysis are paradoxically both embedded in ordinary clinical lore and elusive. In this presentation, I used clinical vignettes, descriptions from infant observation and poetry to provide a base for discussion of the "ordinary devoted mother," the "transitional object," "true and false self development," "the spontaneous gesture," and Winnicott's theory of mind.

A Case Discussion Using Bion's Ideas
May 20th, 2006

The richness and flexibility of Wilfred Bion’s thinking and writing invites us to expand our ideas about the task of psychoanalytic observation and technique. Ritual, set theories, and habit give way to innovation and spontaneity. In this clinical forum three clinicians discussed their theoretical understanding of Bion’s work and the various influences shaping that understanding, i.e. Antonino Ferro, the neo-Kleinians, attachment theory, and infant observation.
