DIAS, Elsa Oliveira. Incorporation and introjection in Winnicott. Winnicott e-prints [online]. 2007, vol.2, n.2, pp. 1-30. ISSN 1679-432X.

The objective of this study is to explain the specific meaning that Winnicott gives to the concepts of incorporation and introjection different from the meaning given by the traditional psychoanalytic theory. This study also shows that the difference between these concepts - formulated in the light of maturation and resulting from the difference between psyche-soma and mind ndash; is extremely important to understand the failures that characterize the primitive pathologies. This is followed by the Winnicottian formulation on an introjection of a pathological nature leading to significant results in the clinical practice especially in regard to specific pathologies such as the reactive depression

Keywords : Winnicott; Psyche; Mind; Incorporation; Introjection; Internal world; Personal psychic reality.
