ABSTRACT
Winnicottian finding is aligned with construction (Freud) and production (Deleuze and Guattari). Together, these seemingly irreconcilable points of view highlight the dynamism of the co-incidence of opposites as potentially less a painful contradiction or tolerable impasse and more as an inclusive production. Two detailed clinical vignettes illustrate how desire is neither a word nor a principle but a vibrant experience that emerges in the proximity of action to emotion, power to dependence, consistency to surprise, disclosure to privacy. Clinically, co-incidence opens onto a lateral rather than an archaeological depth of field that jettisons the profundity of interpretation in favour of an analyzing construction whose pleasures and conflicts operate beyond repetition and recovery.
