Seminar Title: Winnicott and a Relational Holding Model

Seminar Description : This seminar will review Winnicott ’s contributions as they first altered our understanding of clinical work and ultimately informed the relational turn. I then offer an expanded understanding of what holding can look like in the consulting room. Arguing both for and against the clinical power of holding, I unpack her own understanding of its varied clinical impact in different kinds of therapeutic “knots.” If we have time, I hope to also address the underbelly of our analytic ideal and what I ’ve called relational excess.

Selected Readings:

There is far more relevant reading than we can cover in a weeklong seminar; I’m including a list of recommended readings for those who are interested. The Winnicott readings are background, but if you haven’t read them already, please try to familiarize yourselves with these three:

Winnicott

The aims of psychoanalytical treatment (Maturational Processes, 166-170)

Dependence in infant care, in childcare, and in the psychoanalytic setting

(Maturational processes, 249-260)

The use of an object and relating through identifications (Playing and Reality 8694)
