Resumos
The article aims to discuss the contributions of Winnicott’s theory of maturational development to the field of school education. At the beginning, the reader is presented with a brief history of Freud’s work on the question of applied psychoanalysis. Then, we articulate central points of Winnicott’s theory with specific aspects of the pedagogical context. Finally, without the aim of exhausting the topic, we launch possible provocations on the need for articulating psychoanalysis with other spheres of the human sciences.
