Dependence in Infant-Care, in Child-Care and in the Psycho-Analytic Setting

Author(s):  
Donald W. Winnicott

In this paper presented to the Boston Psychoanalytic Society, Winnicott examines the nature of transference dependence in a patient using clinical material, and he compares this with the stages of infant and child dependency. This vulnerable dependent patient required a phase of deep dependency on his analyst and a regression to the initial difficulties in her early life. All analysts fail and succeed in this work, but in failing and succeeding, they can help towards change. He comments on Dr Zetzel and her views of his work, correcting how he is represented in the area of early environmental failures.

This essay draws together some of Winnicott’s conclusions about good infant care. For him, the capacity for a one-body relationship follows that of a two-body relationship, through the introjection of the object (mother) in the earliest stages. He believes that unlike the Kleinian position, ‘good-enough’ infant-care can neutralise feelings of external persecution and prevent feelings of disintegration and loss of contact between psyche and soma. Inherent in growth, however, is both pain and anxiety in respect of the various phenomena that arise in early life and how they are lived by the mother and infant together.

Here are two publications exemplifying the breadth of interest and the enterprise of the Children's Bureau. From an agency known to most pediatricians as the source of such general and inclusive "child care" manuals as Infant Care and Your Child From One to Six, these specialized items may seem surprising. They are, however, characteristic of an organization which has always been alert for ways of promoting the health of children in the broadest sense, which includes the "new disease" of the relatively few as well as the standard problems of the very many.
