Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A clear, concise, and enjoyable introduction to the wide-ranging work of Wilfred R. Bion, a true pioneer in the psychoanalytic world. Nicola Abel-Hirsch's encyclopaedic knowledge of her subject shines through in this easy-to-read primer. Perfect for students, academics, and professionals in the mental health, humanities, and social sciences fields, it also provides an overview of the whole of his work for people with some familiarity with his writings. Bion's life spanned key events in the twentieth century. Born in India in 1897, he came to boarding school in England aged 8 and at 18 fought in the tanks in World War One. He trained as a doctor between the wars and, in his World War Two work for the army, he was an innovator. After the war, he became a patient of Melanie Klein, qualified as a psychoanalyst, and was part of an extraordinary period in psychoanalysis of work with psychotic mechanisms in patients. In the late 1950s, he identified the configuration container/contained as being at the heart of human development. He looked outside of psychoanalysis to philosophers, scientists, mathematicians, and even theo-mystical thinkers. His work evolved radically throughout the 1960s and, at age 70 when many would be thinking of slowing down, he emigrated to California and began to travel internationally, giving lectures and supervisions across three continents. After Freud, Bion appears to be the most quoted psychoanalyst of our time and this book provides the opportunity, even for those familiar with his work, to gain insight into its sheer breadth, showcased so brilliantly in this slim volume. As author of Bion: 365 Quotes, Nicola Abel-Hirsch's immersion in Bion's vast uvre has enabled a comprehensive introduction to Bion and his work. Her lightness of touch, whilst retaining the necessary depth, makes it a joy to read. Bion and his work can be somewhat enigmatic but Abel-Hirsch's understanding offers the ideal introduction to the man and his work. AUTHOR: Nicola Abel-Hirsch is a training analyst of the British Psychoanalytical Society, and works in full-time psychoanalytical practice. She has given theoretical and clinical papers on Bion in the UK; Taiwan (annually 20052012); the USA; and Europe. From 2013 to 2015 she was the visiting professor at the Centre for Psychoanalytic Studies, University of Essex. She is the author of Bion: 365 Quotes (2019), and editor of Hanna Segal's last book Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow (2007). Under the auspices of Understanding Primitive Mental States NYC, she chairs an ongoing series of seminars on Bion's later lectures, seminars and supervisions. A clear, concise, and enjoyable introduction to the wide-ranging work of Wilfred R. Bion, a true pioneer in the psychoanalytic world. Nicola Abel-Hirschs encyclopaedic knowledge of her subject shines through in this easy-to-read primer. Perfect for students, academics, and professionals in the mental health, humanities, and social sciences fields.
