Abstract

COSTA, Patrícia Ferreira da  and  RIBEIRO, Paulo de Carvalho. The concept of ambivalence from the perspective of Winnicott's psychoanalysis. Nat. hum. [online]. 2016, vol.18, n.2, pp. 123-159. ISSN 1517-2430.

The present work aims at presenting the concept of ambivalence in the thought of Winnicott, discussing its characteristics in the stage of concern. From the theory of human maturation, some elements of the stages previous to the reach of unitary identity, which can be considered conditional to the constitution of ambivalence, will be thematized. Therefore, this work will present how, in health, during the stage of concern, both the reach of ambivalence and the capacity for the maintenance of such conquest over one's lifetime occur. Finally, some contributions from a winnicottian understanding of reach, of loss or of non-reach of capacity for ambivalence will be presented as possibilities for research in the psychoanalytic field.

Keywords : psychoanalysis; Winnicott; primitive love impulse; integration; concern; ambivalence.
