L'enfant, l'humour et Winnicott : La face cachée du Surmoi

Abstract

From many clinicians' points of view, it remains a suspicious practice to use humour within clinical works. since they are often afraid by its attractive dimension, they forget that Freud theorized humour and that Winnicott considered it as a transitional phenomenon. Winnicott opens the doors to his therapeutical consultation and gives us an opportunity to observe in vivo the importance he gives to humour in his communication with children. New clinical extents raise and humour becomes a tool for therapists - in the way the concept of transference use to.
