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.
Bion's War Memoirs is perhaps the most exceptional piece of
autobiography yet written by a psychoanalyst. The first section of
the book is documentary, consisting of the entire text of the
diaries which the author wrote as a young man to record his
experiences on the Western Front in 1917-1919, and this volume also
includes the photographs and diagrams with which he illustrated his
recollections. The diaries are followed by two later essays, in
which he reflects upon his wartime experiences. The author has long
been renowned as one of the great psychoanalysts, his career
spanning much of the twentieth century and making him one of the
most influential names in the field. The author's war diary, which
he kept with him during combat, covered his years fighting in
France during the First World War. He was just twenty years old
when he began writing it. War Memoirs constitutes the final part of
the author's autobiography.
Second Thoughts is a collection of papers on Schizophrenia, Linking
and Thinking, and is a commentary upon them in the light of later
work. Originally composed between 1950 and 1962, it derives its
title from the lengthy critical commentary which Bion attached to
these case histories in the year of publication, 1967, and
represents the evolutionary change of position marked in his three
previous books and brought to further refinement in the present
work.
Bion's central thesis in this volume is that for the study of
people, whether individually or in groups, a cardinal requisite is
accurate observation, accompanied by accurate appreciation and
formulation of the observations so made. The study represents a
further development of a theme introduced in the author's earlier
works, particularly in Elements of Psychoanalysis (1963) and
Transformations (1965). Bion's concern with the subject stems
directly from his psycho-analytic experience and reflects his
endeavor to overcome, in a scientific frame of reference, the
immense difficulty of observing, assessing, and communicating
non-sensuous experience. Here, he lays emphasis on he overriding
importance of attending to the realities of mental phenomena as
they manifest themselves in the individual or group under study. In
influences that interpose themselves between the observer and the
subject of his scrutiny giving rise to opacity, are examined,
together with ways of controlling them.

Cogitations, the last of the posthumous publications, is a
collection of occasional writings representing Bion's attempts to
clarify and evaluate both his own ideas and those of others by
casting them in written form and frequently addressing them to an
imaginary audience. Covering a period between February 1958 and
April 1979, Cogitations
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 the author's unique psychoanalytic vertex. Here one can
both read - and hear - the author'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 the author's ideas on 'memory and
desire' in a paper that set the benchmark in the origins of
contemporary Kleinian clinical technique. The author discusses the
various factors that facilitate optimal listening receptivity in
the analyst, for example how one differentiates the 'K' link
vis-a-vis 'transformations in O.' In the second lecture, the author
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,
either in psychotic, borderline or neurotic patients. He clarifies
these ideas while engaging with the queries of renowned American
analysts, such as Ralph Greenson.
A Memoir of the Future, Bion's unorthodox attempt to cast
psychoanalytic speculation in fictional form, is composed of three
semi-autobiographical novels: The Dream (1975), The Past Presented
(1977), and The Dawn of Oblivion (1979). Presented here for the
first time in one volume, they appear together with the Key to A
Memoir of the Future, a glossary of terms and concepts compiled by
Wilfred and Francesca Bion.
Tavistock Press was established as a co-operative venture between
the Tavistock Institute and Routledge & Kegan Paul (RKP) in the
1950s to produce a series of major contributions across the social
sciences. This volume is part of a 2001 reissue of a selection of
those important works which have since gone out of print, or are
difficult to locate. Published by Routledge, 112 volumes in total
are being brought together under the name The International
Behavioural and Social Sciences Library: Classics from the
Tavistock Press. Reproduced here in facsimile, this volume was
originally published in 1970 and is available individually. The
collection is also available in a number of themed mini-sets of
between 5 and 13 volumes, or as a complete collection.

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."

This selection of clinical seminars held by Wilfred Bion in
Brasilia (1975) and Sao Paulo (1978) is the nearest we shall ever
get to experiencing his application of his theories and views to
consulting-room practice. It is also likely to be the only printed
record of this area of his work. As those who underwent analysis
with Bion will testify,
Previously unpublished in English, this book comprises lectures the
author gave in Rome, in 1977. The volume consists of questions from
the floor andthe aurthor's fascinating and, at times, controversial
answers. The lectures are divided in two: the first part was
organized by the Italian Psychoanalytical Society and the second by
the Via Pollai
The Long Week-End is a reminiscence of the first twenty-one years
of the author's life: eight years of childhood in India, ten years
at public school in England, and three years in the army.
