PINHEIRO, Nadja Nara Barbosa  and  MAIA, Maria Vitória Campos Mamede. From loneliness to the ability to be alone in the presence of someone: clinical pathways from Winnicott's perspective. Est. Inter. Psicol. [online]. 2020, vol.11, n.3, suppl.1, pp. 61-79. ISSN 2236-6407.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5433/2236-6407.2020v11n3suplp61.

Aiming to focus on the important passage in emotional development, proposed by Winnicott, from loneliness to the ability to be alone (in the presence of someone), the article begins by briefly presenting the author's theoretical perspective on the issue. Then, it describes two clinical paths in which the conduct of the therapeutic work allowed the opening of possibilities of constructive experiences to the original loneliness brought to the setting, by the patients, as the foundation of despair and anguish.

Keywords : loneliness; psychoanalytic clinic; Winnicott.
