Opposite premise from attachment theory. Attachment theory states that the children is born helpless into the world and has to learn to trust the carers around it. Winicott on the other hand states that children are born into the world expecting the same imidiate gratification of its needs as the babe has in vivo. Hence that the first months is about learning to tolerate the frustration of only "good enough" care.
