The aim of this paper is to present some of the core elements involved in therapeutic consultations, such as the Winnicott's clinical research methodology perspective (involving the construction of psychoanalytical knowledge), the intrinsic value of experience in clinical practice, and of temporal management and facilitating environment in the constitutive experience of the patient's inner self. Such aspects will provide the context for a revolutionary way of performing psychological activities within a winnicottian clinic which is grounded on psychoanalytical paradigm; which is, in its turn, based on the mother-baby relationship, and on a search for improvement and self-constitution.
