Abstract: | Donald Winnicott’s work is rather well-known to most clinicians, and many of his concepts––e.g., facilitating environment,
spontaneous gesture, going-on-being, impingement, annihilation, True and False Self––are utilized clinically and theoretically.
Silvan Tomkins and his colleagues provide a profound understanding of the psychology of affect, and their work furnishes a
lens through which Winnicott’s ideas can be further appreciated. The author suggests such an integration is crucial not only
to deepening our understanding of Winnicott’s concepts, but also to enhancing the clinical dimension of affect theory. This
discussion also has important implications for social work with respect to both treatment issues as well as prevention and
early intervention programs.
