The significance of Winnicott's work for the theory and practice of adult analysis is examined. Winnicott's most valuable contribution was to discern important new clinical phenomena. This is a crucial aspect of theory development, but not the same as explicating new theory, and partly accounts for the difficulty integrating his ideas with traditional psychoanalytic theory. Winnicott left the theoretical revisions possibly necessitated by his discoveries for others to accomplish, and some of this new work is discussed and synthesized. The nature of Winnicott's discoveries, especially the phenomenological field of transitional or intermediate experience, is elusive to define, and is also related to his clinical stance and his attitudes to theory for the purposes of clinical work. His work demonstrates the limits of theorizing and of our theories, and also an attitude toward theory that facilitates clinical and theoretical progress. He also provides conceptual language to discuss what is often called the art of psychoanalysis. Both the value and limitations of studying Winnicott are considered.
本文探讨了温尼科特的著作对成人精神分析理论与实践的意义。温尼科特最有价值的贡献在于识别出重要的新临床现象。这是理论发展的关键方面，但与阐述新理论不同，这也部分解释了将他的观点与传统精神分析理论相结合的困难。温尼科特将其发现可能需要的理论修订留给其他人去完成，本文将对其中一些新成果进行讨论与综合。温尼科特发现的本质，尤其是过渡或中间体验的现象学领域，难以界定，这也与他的临床立场以及他为临床工作目的而对理论的态度有关。他的著作展示了理论化以及我们现有理论的局限性，同时也展现了一种有助于临床和理论进步的理论态度。他还提供了概念性语言来讨论通常所谓的精神分析艺术。本文同时考虑了研究温尼科特的价值与局限性。
