Psychoanalysis seen through Bion's eyes is a radical departure from all conceptualizations which preceded him. In this major contribution to the series Makers of Modern Psychotherapy, Joan and Neville Symington concentrate on understanding Bion's concepts in relation to clinical practice, but their book is also accessible to the educated reader who wishes to understand the main contours of Bion's thinking. Rather than following the chronological development of Bion's ideas, each chapter looks in depth at an important theme in his thinking and describes how this contributes to his revolutionary model of the mind.

Editorial Reviews
Review
The subtlety and compactness of Bion's ideas are among his great strengths, but they have also been sources of great frustration to generations of students. The Symington's account makes them addessible even to those with limited psychoanalytic experience.
