Three Papers of W.R. Bion features two previously unpublished
papers and one which has only previously appeared in The Complete
Works of W. R. Bion (2014). Characterised by Bion's directness,
clarity and intensity, together they illustrate important aspects
of his later thinking. They also show Bion using his key ideas in
fresh contexts which will allow readers already familiar with his
theoretical and clinical concepts to appreciate them from a new
angle. The first paper, Memory and Desire, clarifies one of Bion's
most important and clinically-relevant ideas: the value of
suspending elements of our memory and desire in the service of
allowing openness to psychoanalytic intuition. The second, Negative
Capability, was reformulated to become the final chapter of his
1970 Attention and Interpretation. The publication here of the
original paper allows an interesting and rewarding three-way
comparison to be made with the 1970 chapter, and Memory and Desire.
The third paper, Break Up, Break Down, Break Through, was presented
without notes in 1976 in Los Angeles and the transcript from the
recorded talk is published here for the first time. It displays the
complex interweaving of the personal and the theoretical and offers
a fascinating contribution to the study of what Bion called "the
turbulence that obeys no man-made 'laws of nature'". Wilfred R.
Bion's writing continues to be read and re-read by an increasing
and widening readership; the three papers presented here possess
contemporary clinical relevance and each have a bearing on the
underlying philosophical basis of psychoanalytical work and
thinking.
