In his illuminating introduction, Masud Khan, to whom Dr
Winnicott's case notes were entrusted, relates this definite text
of Holding and Interpretation: Fragment of an Analysis to an
earlier phase of the treatment of the same patient described by
Winnicott in his paper 'Withdrawal and Regression', also included
in this volume.The case documents the therapeutic care of a highly
gifted professional man who suffered a psychotic breakdown with
acute depression, and who, through analysis, and hospital
treatment, was gradually helped to recovery. It is remarkable for
many things: Dr Winnicott's skill at 'holding' the patient in the
analytical sessions, and providing guidance through sensitive
interpretation; his ability to re-enforce the patient's sexual and
ego functions; his instinctive recognition of the value of silence
(as a way of showing trust, and of not destroying by intent); his
capacity to accept the paradox that verbal communication can be
both meaningful and a negation of psychic reality; and, not least,
his acute judgment of when to stop the analysis.
