Psychoanalysis with Wilfred R. Bion Contemporary Approaches Actuality and The Future of Psychoanalytic Practice

Psychoanalysis with Wilfred R. Bion Contemporary Approaches Actuality and The Future of Psychoanalytic Practice

Psychoanalysis with Wilfred R. Bion is the product of François Lévy’s efforts over a period of twenty years to represent clearly the classical elements and the innovatory propositions of the thought and work of Bion who offers both new and modified ways of practising and thinking about the psychoanalytic experience. Bion’s thought methodical and intuitive gave rise to profound modifications in the approach to the psychology of groups clinical work with psychoses and the conception of the genesis of thought. Some of his original notions – psychic growth processes of thinking transformations alpha function maternal reverie – constitute valuable tools for rethinking psychoanalytic practice. This book places Bion’s thought within a filiation that is faithful to those of Sigmund Freud and Melanie Klein. It shows the parallels that exist between Bion’s formalisations and those of Lacan. It also lays emphasis on the mechanisms of thought arising from the negative (André Green) from logic (Lewis Carroll) from causalist philosophy (David Hume) from literature (Milton Blanchot) and from the physical sciences (Stephen Hawking). Finally Lévy underlines the importance of placing individuals within the collective from which they have originated. Psychoanalysis with Wilfred R. Bion will appeal to psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists looking to draw on the ideas of one of the most important and influential figures in the history of psychoanalysis. | Psychoanalysis with Wilfred R.
