Abstract

COELHO JR., Nelson E.  and  BARONE, Karina Codeço. The importance of Winnicott’s theory on communication for the construction of the ethical meaning of psychoanalysis. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2007, vol.41, n.3, pp. 88-100. ISSN 0486-641X.

Winnicott’s theory on communication has a paradoxical dimension, as he points out that although the self enjoys communication it has as well a private core that is permanently non-communicating. The authenticity and liveliness of the therapeutic setting arise from the maintenance of this paradoxical balance between communicating and non-communicating on the psychoanalytical dialogue. The ethics of the psychoanalytic method lies on this paradoxical balance of communication.

Keywords : Communication; Winnicott; Ethics.
