D.W.Winnicott insisted that transitional space, the space of the non-rational, neither rational nor unconscious and irrational, is the location of culture and identity. Also called in-between space, one important understanding arrives when the question ‘is this real?’ is not asked. The posts and pages on this blog will return to this idea, and notice what happens if the question is asked, or , if one person should insist to another that their understanding is paramount.
This is just one of what I am calling "Big ideas". See the about page for info about me and what I have been as a professional person/ordinary worker - a life from which I have now retired. My family has been the main influence in turning me into a traveller, but my work was founded for 40 years (help!) in psychodynamic understanding of people and their work, their roles and relationships. That sounds theoretical and grand, in practice it is ordinary. We all have emotional life, we all have more-or-less good-or-bad ways of understanding what happens to us.
