The loss of concern and the role of analysis: case B study

Abstract

The objective of this article is to demonstrate the importance of the achievement of concern and its consolidation in personal maturation process. To demonstrate this, I will make a systematization of the concern stage theory and I will use "Case B" as an illustration, examining it from such theoretical point on view. I will conclude with a number of theoretical considerations about the diagnosis and analysis. Key-words: Winnicott, analysis, concern, case B.
