This comprehensive volume presents Richard M. Billow's unique
contributions to the theory and technique of psychotherapy, along
with summaries and explications by the volume's editor, Tzachi
Slonim. Through their behavior, therapists define the clinical
culture: how relationships are to be regarded and the depth to
which narratives and exchanges may be considered. Known for his
integration of Bion's metapsychology with contemporary
psychoanalysis, Billow extends our understanding of "relational" to
include the emotional relationships people have with individual and
collective ideas, and the behaviors attached to these ideas. "Doing
our work" (the title of the last section) involves the therapist's
whole being, including cognitions, dreams, words, deeds, and very
presence-mental and somatic. Drawing on Lacan, Billow suggests that
therapeutic work ought to include a willingness to penetrate other
minds with provocative, controversial ideas. His clinical vignettes
portray a masterly clinician-in-action, describing his evolving
feelings, thoughts, and assessments. Billow's intimate knowledge of
Bionian theory, coupled with his down-to-earth demeanour and clear
writing, allows him to explicate and expand upon Bion's important
contributions in a manner accessible to the novice and expert
therapist alike. With one eye on therapeutic process, and the other
on each participant including the therapist himself, Billow invites
each of us to change our minds.
