FULGENCIO, Leopoldo. Playing as a model of the psychoanalytical method of treatment. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2008, vol.42, n.1, pp.123-136. ISSN 0486-641X.

The purpose of this paper is to show that the psychoanalytical treatment, from Winnicott’s perspective, offers a clinical model different from Freud’s and Klein’s. To have a global understanding of these authors’ objectives and differences, this model can be more clearly seen if we use the idea of paradigm as it was elaborated by Thomas Kuhn. By specifying the characteristics of the paradigmatic matrix of the traditional psychoanalysis, we can focus our attention on one of the elements of this matrix- which concerns the heuristic model for (clinical) problem solving purposes in psychoanalysis-, and by analyzing Winnicott’s work, we can distinguish a method of treatment which is based on the interpretation and unveiling of unconscious conflicts (sexuality and the Œdipus complex) from another type of psychoanalytical clinical model which has its telos in playing, creativity and meeting oneself.
