Document Summary
Taught winnicott: the ability/capacity to have concern/feel guilty and take another"s perspective is a psychological achievement. Winnicott parted ways with klein because she seemed to pathologise what winnicott saw as normal developmental processes. Spatula technique: sterilize a bright and shiny spatula and see what the parents and children would do. Possible anxiety - when the child notices something, wants to explore and doesn"t explore it. He would push the spatula closer and look for nervous behaviour ( yucky, you don"t know where that"s been ) - to determine where the anxiety comes from. Squiggle technique: drawing a line and then drawing something on top of it. He would analyse the squiggle and engage the child and come up with a picture - you draw a squiggle, i draw a squiggle . Child may want to engage/avoid (drawing an extremely vague picture - to push psychologist away)
