| Description | Delinquency has never been a central concern for psychoanalysts in Britain, despite the involvement, during the 1930s, of Klein's daughter Melitta Schmideberg and the once eminent analyst Edward Glover with the pioneering work of the Institute for the Scientific Treatment of Delinquency. J. Bowlby's first work on the causes of juvenile delinquency predated the actual wartime evacuation programme. While Bowlby never distinguished terminologically between absence and loss, D. Winnicott did do so: he connected the occurrence of the specific features of delinquency with the child's experience of loss, rejection, or absence of the mother after the first six months of life. Winnicott is claiming that the antisocial individual differs from the psychotic or psychopathic in that his behaviour expresses—and protests at—a loss of something once sensed as good and needful. Hence for him the importance of discerning the element of hope behind the antisocial manifestations of the delinquent. Book Name: Donald Winnicott and John Bowlby |
