“…Winnicott's contribution was based on his 'interwar work with mothers and children' (Kellond, 2019, p. 327) He wrote with concern about the separation of mothers and children during the evacuation of civilians during the second world war. As Kellond (2019) and Gerson (2017) noted, Winnicott's attentiveness to his patients' relationships and experiences aligned with the position of the reformers of the war and post-war period in the twentieth century. These reformers, social democrats and liberals 'believed sociality to be the core human motivation and saw recognition of this as central to justifying the emerging welfare state' (Kellond, 2019, p. 328).…”

“…This applies as Winnicott discussed the relevance of his ideas beyond the parent-child relationship in detail, and in many of his writings (Winnicott et al, 1986). He has been acknowledged as contributing to a 'politics of care' (Kellond, 2019) and some of his thinking was adopted in the creation of the welfare state (Kellond, 2019). Alexander (2013) and Kellond (2019) have both discussed how Winnicott exerted an influential form of 'soft' power, particularly through his BBC broadcasts and articles in newspapers and magazines.…”

Using an ethnographic case study based in a UK state school for 11- to 18-year-olds, this paper explores the tensions that arose when the senior leadership team (SLT) introduced a justice-based ethic-of-care that prioritized good grades and equal treatment for all pupils over a feminist ethic-of-care (preferred by most teachers in non-leadership roles) that accentuated individual pupil need and placed greater emphasis on a broader social education. Through highlighting the tensions between a feminist ethic-of-care and a more ‘masculine’ style, justice-based approach to care-ethics, the paper extends the organisational care-ethics literature. We emphasise that such tensions occurred whether the different ethics were enacted by men, women, or non-binary individuals. In order to better understand the tensions between these two ethical approaches, we draw upon the theoretical work of Donald Winnicott, which highlights the importance both of maternal and paternal roles during infancy. We update Winnicott’s ideas, noting how maternal and paternal caring roles can be undertaken by people of varied gender identities. Building on Winnicott’s theory, we propose a new ‘Parentalist’ ethic-of-care, which has the potential to balance and hold together ideas of both a feminist ethic-of-care, and a justice-based ethic. A Parentalist ethic-of-care could support teachers yet recognize the context of the contemporary neo-liberal environment, where most children need to attain formal qualifications in a marketized world, and where such measures of success are highly valued.

“…Por um lado, Winnicott (2005a) se coloca em desacordo à estatização plena dos serviços de saúde no momento de constituição do NHS, o que é criticado por Beer e Franco (2017) como um posicionamento político-econômico liberal. Para outros autores, contudo, a defesa de Winnicott em relação a Paddington Green, assim como a ênfase de sua crítica ao NHS centrar-se no risco de burocratização das instituições de saúde indicaria antes para a importância primordial da dimensão clínica do cuidado, buscando contribuir para um estado de bem-estar social democrático e liberal na Inglaterra pós-guerras (ALEXANDER, 2016;GERSON, 2017;KELLOND, 2019). 31 Embora Winnicott (1994b) relate realizar consultas terapêuticas também em seu consultório privado, foi no contexto institucional que ele exerceu de forma mais extensa esta prática clínica.…”

COVID-19: Harbinger of a New Psychology of Religion for Postcolonial Societies

Religious practice, like every other human affair, was alteredat the onset of the pandemic. The paper argues that the "home church" as a Christian expression of religiosity during Covid-19, for instance, was a signalto something new at least in the theoretical realms of religion. More strongly,it was a vindication of postcolonial native societies (of Africa) whoseindigenous spiritualities were thwarted and/or abolished during the colonialera. The pandemic is theorized as a wake-up call for agency in these societies.The theorization relies upon Piaget's psychological "techniques" ofaccommodation and assimilation, opening various channels to answering thequestions: what was assimilated during colonialism that should have beenaccommodated and vice versa? And how has the pandemic uncovered that error ofinversion?
