Contratransferência nas clínicas de Winnicott: envolvimento, desafios e tarefas de cuidado do analista

Abstract

This dissertation aims to provide the reader with stories or even evidence about countertransference impacts in the Winnicottian clinical setting, as well as the roles and tasks that the analyst assumes when faced with different forms of psychic illness. Passages from the clinical practices of both Winnicott and Masud Khan were used, the latter being a disciple of Winnicott and aligned with Winnicott's theory. The intention is to equip the analyst with greater technical tools so that they can be more adept at recognizing themselves when involved with countertransference feelings; and, based on them, find appropriate responses and management for the analytic process with the patient. This work comprises four chapters: the first serves as an introduction to the others, addressing aspects of the theory of emotional development and the concept of countertransference according to Winnicott; the second, third, and fourth, developed in accordance with the countertransference aspects of Winnicott's clinic, respectively deal with these subjects: the setting in which patients are fixed in primitive stages of their emotional development; the setting in which patients' illness forms are characterized by failures in the stage of consideration; and the clinical category where issues inherent to subjects considered neurotic prevail. The results are that, in a sense, we did not find extensive material addressing Winnicott's own reports as an analyst about his own impacts and countertransference feelings; however, the author provides extensive clinical material from which we can delineate the development, challenges, positions, and tasks of the analyst in the face of different countertransference impacts that any analyst may encounter in the three modalities of addressed clinics
