Abstract

HOFIG, Julia Archangelo Guimarães  and  ZANETTI, Sandra Aparecida Serra. Good enough setting and clinical handling in child psychotherapy: a case study. Estilos clin. [online]. 2016, vol.21, n.1, pp. 45-62. ISSN 1415-7128.  http://dx.doi.org/10.11606/issn.1981-1624.v21i1p45-62.

The technique of child clinical care can be studied from the theory developed by Winnicott and his peculiar way of conducting some cases in which he realized that the interpretation was ineffective. In these cases, the author proposed a new form of handling and conduction during sessions and stressed the importance of setting stability for emotional development. The main objective of this article is to illustrate and expand the discussion about the topic, through the presentation of a child's clinical case, in which the need of this differentiated therapist's stance was identified and requested for the result of treatment.

Keywords : child psychoanalysis; clinical case; emotional development.
