O complexo de Édipo nas obras de Klein e Winnicott: Comparações

Abstract

Oedipus complex in Klein and Winnicott's works: Comparisons. This work introduces a comparative analysis of the concept of the Oedipus complex in the works of Klein and Winnicott, as a way to demonstrate some differences and proximities between these authors. It was shown that, while in Klein there is the idea of an early Oedipus complex, the basis for the constitution of human being, related to pre-genital phases and to a partial relationship with objects, in Winnicott the Oedipus complex appears only as a late phase of growth, when the individual is already integrated, featuring a healthy development.
