Bion in the Consulting Room - An Implicit Method of Clinical Inquiry

Bion in the Consulting Room addresses the long unanswered question of Bion’s clinical and supervisorial technique and examines the way Bion’s conceptual model and clinical practices informed his theoretical work. As Bion wrote about technique so rarely, the authors set about looking at many of his clinical and supervisorial examples to infer what might be learnt from them. This book factors in the four distinctive periods of Bion's clinical and supervisorial work in chronological order: the group period of the 1940s; the period of the psychosis papers in the 1950s; the epistemological period of the early 1960s; and finally, the period of his international group seminars in the late 1960s and 1970s. In all four periods, the authors examine and analyse his method of clinical enquiry, or how he went about knowing and experiencing his analysands and supervisees. The authors offer a uniquely overarching view of his method of clinical enquiry, uncovering an amazing consistency in how Bion went about his work both as a psychoanalyst and supervisor. This illuminating book is essential reading for psychoanalysts, psychotherapists and psychologists interested in the work of Wilfred Bion and the importance of his legacy in contemporary practice.
