YAMAMOTO, Bruna Praxedes    JUNIOR, Leopoldo Pereira Fulgencio. GENERAL ASPECTS INHIBITIONS IN THE D. W. WINNICOTT'S WORK. Psicol. rev. (Belo Horizonte) []. 2017, 23, 1, pp.182-200. ISSN 1677-1168.  https://doi.org/10.5752/P.1678-9563.2017v23n1p182-200.

The aim of this article is to clarify the genesis and effects of inhibition in the individual’s emotional development, from the point of view of Winnicott’s work. It is a theoretical study with a conceptual and structural analysis of Winnicott’s work, trying to show how he understood inhibition. In this study, we could clarify different types of inhibition, for example: inhibition of instincts, inhibition of play and others. In the conclusion, we emphasize that the beginnings of the individual’s emotional development are the phases that are more susceptible for inhibition against anxiety to appear. Then, the environmental provision is of decisive importance. It is important that we note that inhibition is not always result in pathology, because Winnicott believed that only a healthy child can organize defenses, such as inhibition, to deal promptly with their fears of being and to be in the world
