D.W. WINNICOTT WORLDWIDE ONLINE SEMINARS 2026

TEN-YEAR CELEBRATION FOR THE COMPLETE WORK, EDITED BY HELEN TAYLOR AND LESLEY CALDWELL

PROPOSAL

As we all know, Donald Winnicott was not an evangelist; he had no wish to impose his ideas upon others, and he preferred “to be found”.

These Online Seminars have the same purpose: in continuity with Winnicott´s spirit, for these six preliminary online Seminars, each of our colleagues will share thoughts about the impact the work of this British author has had on their ordinary life and in the consulting room.

By remaining faithful to Winnicott’s tradition, we attempt to outline some of his texts sensitively and thoughtfully in a spontaneous gesture format.

For the ten-year online celebration, we are preparing a special agenda with these six outstanding colleagues, and more to come!

APRIL 18, 2026 – BORDER INCIDENTS. A METAPSYCHOLOGY OF THE ENVIRONMENT

We are invited to reflect on the following ideas: Every system (or individual) has its specific environment. Whatever happens is known to happen because it irritates the perceptual borders of the system. A system is the difference between the system and its environment. – What if everything that can really be known of the life of a system is what happens at its border? If so, what ensues in terms of psychoanalytic practice and theory?”

OCTOBER 3, 2026 –

Online Seminar presented by TOBIAS JENKINS ( UK )

Tobias Jenkins –

‘Time, not our time, rings the bell’: On D.W. Winnicott’s Engagement with T.S. Eliot

D.W. Winnicott’s decision to title his unfinished autobiography, Not Less Than Everything (1971), after a line from T.S Eliot hints at the important influence the poet had on him. In this paper, I review Winnicott’s engagement with Eliot, beginning in his 1949 paper ‘Birth Memories, Birth Trauma and Anxiety,’ and consider the important role of Claire Winnicott and Masud Khan as mediators of the poet’s work for him. In particular, I demonstrate how the conception of temporality put forward in ‘Fear of Breakdown’ (1974) is indebted to the non-linear time of Eliot’s Four Quartets (1943), and argue that the Winnicottian unconscious might therefore be thought of as more Eliotic than Freudian.

Tobias Jenkins is an Arts & Humanities Research Council (UK) funded doctoral student in the English Literature Department of King’s College London where he is researching W.R Bion’s experimental autobiographical novel A Memoir of the Future and the psychoanalyst’s engagements with literary modernism. He holds an MSc in Theoretical Psychoanalytical Studies from the UCL Psychoanalysis Unit and is an honorary psychotherapist at Hounslow Psychotherapy Service, West London NHS Trust.

Tobias has produced a very original paper based upon Bion’s traumatic experiences in World War One. Jenkins has researched for new details and has produced some new knowledge related to Bion’s thoughts and feelings about colleagues he served with. The paper also provides a companion commentary as it links together the times Bion revisited experiences with these colleagues throughout his life’s writings up to and including the trilogy A Memoir of the Future. Jenkins shows in detail how these enduring memories shaped Bion’s approach to psychoanalytic work during the course of his career. In this it points to how Bion the clinician emerged through struggles with Bion the tank commander, struggles which contributed to his deep clinical understanding how the mind responds to successive traumatic experiences. Throughout, Jenkins brings the war torn and clinician Bion alive in his paper with well-chosen quotations from his writings and an appreciation of Bion’s use of classical and modern (WW1) poets.
