The scope of this work is to synopsize, synthesize, extend, and to
challenge Bion in a reader-friendly manner. Presenting the most
important legacy-ideas for psychoanalysis-the ideas that are on the
cutting edge of the field that need to be known by the mental
health profession at large-it highlights and defines the broader
and deeper implications of his works.A Beam of Intense Darkness
presents Bion's ideas faithfully and also uses his ideas as
launching pads for the author's conjectures about where Bion's
ideas point. This includes such ideas as "the Language of
Achievement," "reverie," "truth," "O," and "transformations"-in,
of, and from it, but also" L," "H," and "K" linkages (to show how
Bion rerouted Freud's instinctual drives to emotions),
"container/contained," Bion's ideas on "dreaming," "becoming,"
"thoughts without a thinker," "the Grid," his erasure of the
distinction between Freud's, "primary and secondary processes" and
the "pleasure" and "reality principles," "reversible perspective,"
"shifting vertices," "binocular vision," "contact-barrier," the
replacement of "consciousness" and "unconsciousness" with infinity
and finiteness, Bion's use of models, his distinction between
"mentalization" and "thinking," as well as many other items.
