Winnicott; adoption; maturation; environment; deprivation; antisocial tendency.Abstract
In this article I shall explain the aspects in the intertwining of adoption and anti-social tendency through one of Winnicott’s clinical report. I shall especially address the situation of the child who had a good start with the biological mother and suddenly lost this favorable environment. I shall demonstrate how this initial loss reflects in the care that the adoptive parents need to offer the child in order for her maturation to take place/happen.References
