D. W. Winnicott in the Literature Classroom

Elaine Levy ; Kathryn J. Campbell

Abstract

Discusses how psychoanalyst D.W. Winnicott’s framework of “potential space” can help teachers deal with students’ emotional response to literature. Describes creating the right classroom environment and outlines teaching strategies to counteract either a too literal or a too emotional reading of a text, reducing anxiety and helping students consider multiple meanings and viewpoints.
