This paper seeks to establish some contributions of Winnicott related to adolescence, education, and the conflict of generations. The conflict of generations concept is a fundamental axis when considering adolescence and its relationship with the adult world. Winnicott's ideas regarding education are especially emphasized, and therefore, a critique of the proposal of education as adaptation. This theme is consistent with his concept of growth, aggression in the service of the drive for life and true self.
