		<description><![CDATA[In the early 1950’s, Winnicott had identified the transitional (whether object, phenomenon, or space) as the bridge between inner life and outer reality, a bridge that, presumably, the subject must set up and continually cross if it is to pursue its developmental journey and reach its full potential as an adult.  Twenty years later, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thepsychoanalyticfield.com&blog=1506404&post=362&subd=psafield&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Be it in terms of the settling into the depressive position, the resolution of the Oedipus complex, the attainment of ego integration, the cure, or what not, when psychoanalysis prescribes a so-called “healthy” goal for the libido’s development, it also posits the desirability of the point at which the libido’s vicissitudes will have finally come [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thepsychoanalyticfield.com&blog=1506404&post=354&subd=psafield&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

He, for instance, judged “Meschugge” (&#8727;) and &#8220;delusional&#8221; (&#8727;&#8727;) the truths of a psycho-mythology that projects all manner of illusion onto a realty, a future, or a god.
