An Introduction To The Work Of W.R. Bion – Online Seminar

with Simon Good, psychoanalytic psychotherapist

Psychoanalysis seen through the Bion’s eyes is a radical departure from all conceptualisations which preceded him. We have not the slightest hesitation in saying that he is the deepest thinker within psychoanalysis, and this statement does not exclude Freud. (Symington & Symington, 1996,p. xii)

Several of the primary ideas covered in Bion’s writings will be the subject of this seminar series. The theory and practice of classical analysis were profoundly illuminated by Bion. For Bion, truth is more important than theory when it comes to being a therapist. He thought that the therapist’s journey towards authenticity never ends. Meeting the Bion, who has been characterised as mystic, visionary, and genius, is the goal of the seminars. These days, Bion has a significant impact on contemporary analytical thought throughout the psychotherapy world.

The goal of these lectures is to get you “in touch” with Bion’s ideas. We will examine all of his main concepts, including Theory of Thinking, The Grid, Language of Achievement, Reverie, Truth, O, Container-Contained, Dreaming, and Being.
