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 œuvre 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.
