Wilfred Bion s unpublished lectures at the Los Angeles
Psychoanalytic Society and Institute in April in 1967 represent a
unique opportunity for students either new to or continuing in the
study of Bion s unique psychoanalytic vertex. Here one can both
read and hear Bion s clear exposition of his clinical and
theoretical thinking to an audience of primarily Freudian trained
American analysts, most of whom were new to his ideas.The first
lecture sets out Bion s ideas on memory and desire in a paper that
set the benchmark in the origins of contemporary Kleinian clinical
technique. Bion discusses the various factors that facilitate
optimal listening receptivity in the analyst. In the second
lecture, Bion defined projective identification,
container/contained and beta elements and how these ideas serve as
an orienting template for the analyst s understanding of
"proto-mental" states of mind. In the third lecture, Bion gives
extensive case illustrations of primarily borderline and psychotic
patients primarily in terms of work that ushered in a new era of
understanding of both borderline and narcissistic pathological
organizations. In the final lecture, Bion takes up hallucinatory
forms of experience and intersperses his more recent thoughts about
the mystic and the Establishment."
