FORLENZA NETO, Orestes. Las principales contribuiciones de Winnicott a la práctica clínicaWinnicott’s main contributions to clinical practice. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2008, vol.42, n.1, pp. 82-88. ISSN 0486-641X.

Winnicott offers possibilities of analysing difficult patients, with theory on “personal maturation” and the usage of “regression to dependence” phenomenon in the interaction between patient and analyst, which supplies the necessary “holding” and has to decide when to speak and when to be silent, mainly in trauma “defrosting” situations, in which acceptance of patient’s criticism towards the analyst’s faults, lacking revenge or justification, is an important element for reconducting development, mainly in cases of borderline, schizoid and severely narcissistic patients, where the most important aspect is the “analyst’s survival”.

Keywords : Absolute dependence; Regression to dependence; Holding; Traumatic situations defrost; Analyst’s destruction and survival; Setting management.
