Written by pioneering analyst and creative thinker, James
Grotstein, A Beam of Intense Darkness offers a thorough overview
and illuminating insight into the often complex work of W. R. Bion.
This psychoanalytic classic sees Grotstein introduce over 30 key
Bionian theories, comprehensively explaining them to the reader
before offering his own insight and commentary. Grotstein first
encountered Bion as his analysand and, later, as his friend. This
book offers a level of insight only possible through such a close
relationship, and offers a dialogue between Bion and Grotstein as
they delve into the inner workings of the human psyche. Throughout,
Grotstein offers his own original thoughts on topics such as
projective transidentification, transcendent position and the truth
drive. With a new introduction from Nicola Abel-Hirsch, this book
is an essential read for anyone interested in Bion’s work and
legacy.
The author surveys Bion's publications and elaborates on his key
contributions in depth while also critiquing them. The scope of
this work is to synopsize, synthesize, and extend Bion's works in a
reader-friendly manner. The book presents his legacy - his most
important ideas for psychoanalysis. These ideas need to be known by
the mental health profession at large. This work highlights and
defines the broader and deeper implications of his works.It
presents his ideas faithfully and also uses his ideas as "launching
pads" for the author's conjectures about where his ideas point.

This work provides an entirely new perspective on emotional influences on mental and physical health. The authors present current thinking on the development and regulation of emotions and argue that several common but difficult to treat psychiatric illnesses, including drug addictions, eating disorders, panic disorder, and posttraumatic stress disorders, are a consequence of an individual's inability to regulate distressing emotions through mental processes. They also advance a model in which dysregulated emotions may alter other bodily systems and thereby contribute to the development of physical illnesses and diseases. The book is generously illustrated throughout with clinical vignettes and provides descriptions of innovative therapeutic approaches. This volume will become a valuable and stimulating reference for clinicians and researchers alike.
