This work is based on the theory proposed by Donald W. Winnicott and
aims to investigate the loss of the symbolic capacity in borderline pathology. At
first it is held a discussion about the theoretical and clinical diagnostic guiding
principles that sustains Winnicott s diagnostic criterium. The primitive emotional
development is then investigated in order to clarify the failures that results in the
establishment of borderline pathology. Then it is argued that the creation of a
heavily invested false self and a damage to the space potential are defining
characteristics of the borderline pathology that distinguishes it from other diseases
that also originates from early environmental failures. Subsequently, we discuss
the relation between potential space and symbolic capacity, it is also discussed the
importance of the transitional object as the first symbol of the separation between
self and non-self. In the final part of the paper we address the issue of trauma in
the potential space, which results in injury to the symbolic capacity, concluding
that the interference in transitionality affects the process of separating external and
internal realities, which results in the impairment of the symbolic capacity of
borderline patients.
