Wilfred R. Bion was one of the foremost psychoanalysts of his
generation, whose work has shaped and enriched psychoanalysis and
psychotherapy indelibly. Renowned for some highly original and
sometimes cryptic ideas, such as the alpha function and theory of
the grid, Learning from Experience is arguably his most important
and enduring work. Bion brings knowledge into the psychoanalytic
spotlight. What forces, he asks, interfere with knowledge?
Crucially, Bion doesn't mean knowing only facts, but the lifelong
process of understanding and coming to know things that is a
consequence of the development of knowledge. However, Learning From
Experience is perhaps best-known for its emphasis on the way
emotion and knowledge are interwoven. Bion links the emotional
capacity to develop and know to the capacity to tolerate
frustration: if we can hold ourselves in check whilst we endure
frustration, then we can come to know things. A remarkable and
brilliant work by a fascinating psychoanalyst and thinker, Learning
From Experience continues to inspire psychoanalysis and
psychotherapy. This Routledge Classics edition includes a new
Foreword by Robert Hinshelwood.
