Reading Winnicott’s writings in reverse order reveals a major unacknowledged turning-point in his thinking. Based on the unveiling of this development it is proposed that: 1) It is only in his late writings that Winnicott makes a wholehearted shift to a monistic view of psychic energy, 2) The paradoxical joining of two opposing forces, taken together with the unification of “primitive love” and “motility” into a single energy source, as suggested in “The use of an object,” was the missing step that enabled Winnicott’s final shift to monistic thinking, 3) This shift allows to identify motility as the energetic origin of human behavior, and 4) Restoring the connection between aggression and motility is a major curative factor.

以相反的顺序阅读温尼科特的著作揭示了他思想中一个未被承认的重大转折点。基于对这一发展的揭示，建议：1）只有在他的晚期著作中，温尼科特才全心全意地转向一元论的精神能量观点，2）两种对立力量的矛盾结合，连同统一正如“物体的使用”中所建议的那样，将“原始的爱”和“动力”整合为一个单一的能源，这是使温尼科特最终转向一元思维的缺失步骤，3）这种转变允许将动力识别为充满活力的人类行为的起源，4）恢复攻击性和运动性之间的联系是一个主要的治疗因素。
