The Paradox of Illusions in Child<\/span> Development<\/span>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Roots and Wings, Destruction<\/span> and Catastrophic Change<\/span>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n

On the one hand, illusions are necessary for child<\/span> development<\/span>, but<\/span> on the other<\/span> hand, they must also be destroyed in order to make development<\/span> possible. The lecture first traces this dialectic of illusion formation, destruction<\/span> of illusions and establishment of new illusions in child<\/span> development<\/span> based on the considerations of Balint and Winnicott. Children and adolescents shape their detachment<\/span> development<\/span> with the help of illusions. On the basis of three case<\/span> vignettes, I show how children’s fantasies and their transference<\/span> can be understood under the aspect of a complex<\/span> handling<\/span> of illusions and made useful for treatment. In one boy, there was an inability to develop illusions and this resulted in a destruction<\/span> of thinking<\/span>      and of symbolisation<\/span> processes. In an 8-year-old girl, the illusions were so sexually charged that they increased arousal instead of serving as a “valuable resting place” for mediating inner and outer reality<\/span>. With another patient, it was first necessary to acknowledge the meaningfulness of the destructiveness and the illusions associated with it. For me, “rooting” in this context means having or establishing a secure inner access to early illusions. This is impaired in severe pathologies in childhood and adolescence<\/span> and thus in particular also the capacity<\/span> for “negative capability<\/span>” (Bion). On this background, analytic work<\/span> with children has the task<\/span> of supporting our patients’ ability to make playful use of illusions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
