Working-through perspectives in Nietzsche and object relations psychoanalysis

Jeffrey M Jackson

pp. 143-178

Abstrakt

This chapter provides a reading of certain aspects of Nietzsche's thinking with that of Melanie Klein and D.W. Winnicott . A key developmental task in Kleinian psychoanalysis is the ability to integrate a primitive schizoid position toward the same object into a more holistic position. Nietzsche's critique of dualisms—paradigmatically the opposition between Good and Evil—can be read on this model as valorizing the integration of the non-integrable. Similarly, Winnicott's concept of transitional phenomena presents a model of an environmentally mediated ordeal of integrating subjectivity with nonintegrable objectivity, which is similar to Nietzsche's account of subjectivity's formation within suffered social scenes. Both thinkers suggest that purportedly "pure" or "independent" subjects are symptomatic of relational histories that have not gone well and thereby need to be changed.
