Book Description

Publication Date: May 1, 1994 | ISBN-10: 1568212542 | ISBN-13: 978-1568212548 | Edition: New edition
In this book Bion describes his use of the term "alpha-function" to conceptualize how the data of emotional experience is processed and digested. This includes his thinking on "contact barriers" and the bearing of "projective identification" on the genesis of thought.

Editorial Reviews

Review

No analyst working at deeper than oedipal levels can afford to ignore the fundamental ideas to which Bion's chief attention has been devoted. (Harry Guntrip )

About the Author

Wilfred Bion worked clinically with psychotic patients and made many significant contributions in this area, viewing schizophrenic thinking as a difficulty in the "linking" of thoughts and objects. His concept of the "container" and the "contained" emphasizes the role of empathy in the infant-mother dyad. He used the term "alpha function" to conceptualize how the data of emotional experience is processed and digested, and he developed the "grid" to locate the development and transformation of psychic elements. Wilfred Bion died in 1979.

This review is from: Learning from Experience (Maresfield Reprints, 22) (Paperback)
More people need to read this type of material. So many are convinced that humans learn like computers but recent brain research shows that this is far from the truth. Educationists writing e-learning and online learning material take time to read this book!
