This article presents the clinical practice critically analyzed in the light of a winnicott's theory about antisocial behaviour.Accepting the child's antisocial behaviour as a request for help as well as a hope to be assisted by any one who notice it, this article analizes a case of an extremely agressive child who also had no limits in his relationships.Winnicott's theory postulates that the antisocial behaviour is the result of an early good experience which was lost; later on the child perceives that his agressiveness is due to the enviroment's fault by deprivating him of good experiences. The therapist must survive and re-establish the rythm and the child's lost feelings which resulted from that de-deprivation process.
