It gives me shivers:
For Freud, in short, man was the ambivalent animal; for Winnicott, he would be the dependent animal… Prior to sexuality as the unacceptable, there was helplessness. Dependence was the first thing, before good and evil.
Adam Phillips
I don’t get it.
Because you don’t know Freud and Winnicott!
