A ruthless attitude

1. The yellow section of the following long sentence contains two "while"s which has made it a little confounding. Is my interpretation of it correct: "While Balkan Baroque could be seen in terms of reparation and while for Winnicott reparation was one source of artistic performance, Winnicott also believed that another source for art creation was the aggressive impulsions of pre-genital eroticism"?

2. Does "which has a much more ruthless attitude towards the object" mean "which has a much more obsessive and strict attitude towards the object"?


text:

While Balkan Baroque could be seen in terms of reparation, for Winnicott, while reparation was one source of artistic performance, he also situated the impetus for art in the aggressive impulsions of pre-genital eroticism, which has a much more ruthless attitude towards the object in its desire to bring about a relation to a real rather than to a substitutive external object.
