On Minding and Being Minded explores links between depictions of
lived experience written by Samuel Beckett and the experience of
psychoanalytic psychotherapy pioneered in the writings of W.R.
Bion. These robust literary and clinical intersections are made
explicit within the demanding culture of twenty-first century
psychotherapy as patient demand for time-limited, result-driven
therapeutic outcomes conflicts sharply with the contours of
intensive, long-term psychotherapy. Bion and Beckett present
elements of familiarity to the practicing psychoanalyst which
emerge tantalizingly, out of explicit reach, yet become knowable
through interpersonal engagement. These stutterings and intimations
are thick with meaning, suggestively presented in passing. They
hint at how it is for the patient, provoking excitations of
thinking; and, like the mental constructions of us all, their
articulation conceals deep artistry. On Minding and Being Minded
provides a therapeutic link bridging the single session with
multiple session psychotherapy focused upon the dynamic engagement
of patient and therapist.
