This book bears witness to the author's psychoanalytic journey from
the years 1994-1995 to the present, and as such is a completion and
a continuation of his previous Psychoanalysis as a Journey of 1999.
The book is divided into two parts: one clinical and the other
theoretical. The two parts are connected to each other, since the
concepts and authors on whom the second (theoretical-clinical) part
are focused make up the "tools of the trade" that the author
utilizes in the first part to describe his work with patients. In
particular, th author describes his work with "M," who is the
protagonist of many of these pages. The first (clinical) part
contains the text, more or less unmodified, of the analytic paper
that the author presented fifteen years ago in order to be
appointed a training and supervising analyst.
A collection of papers on and about the work of Wilfred Bion and
its continuing development. Most were presented at the
International Centennial Conference on the work of Bion in Turin in
1997. Contributors include Francesca Bion, Andre Green, James
Grotstein, and many others.
It is characteristic of some forms of scientific genius to alter
not just what we see in the world, but how we see it - not just the
view, but the lens. One thinks of Freud's discovery of the
transference, or of Melanie Klein's attention to the play of
children. Wilfred Bion's study of groups and group processes also
has this quality. More than the content of what he saw and captured
in the concepts of two modes of mental functioning in groups and in
the differentiation of the basic assumptions, it was the way he saw
or, more broadly, the way he sensed the emotional life of the
individual in the group, and in the first instance his own, that
opened up a quite new territory for exploration. Those of us whose
practice takes place primarily in the institutional or social
domain can find in his more psychoanalytic work seeds of new
thought extending beyond the consulting room.Going "beyond the
confines" might perhaps more generally stand as a metaphor for
Bion's enterprise.
Winner of the American Board & Academy of Psychoanalysis Prize
for best Edited book published in 2016 Psychoanalysis in Italy is a
particularly diverse and vibrant profession, embracing a number of
influences and schools of thought, connecting together new
thinking, and producing theorists and clinicians of global renown.
Reading Italian Psychoanalysis provides a comprehensive guide to
the most important Italian psychoanalytic thinking of recent years,
including work by major names such as Weiss, E.Gaddini, Matte
Blanco, Nissim Momigliano, Canestri, Amati Mehler, and Ferro. It
covers the most important theoretical developments and clinical
advances, with special emphasis on contemporary topics such as
transference, trauma and primitive states of mind where Italian
work has been particular influential. In this volume, Franco
Borgogno, Alberto Luchetti and Luisa Marino Coe of the Italian
Psychoanalytical Society provide an overview of how Italian
psychoanalysis has developed from the 1920's to the present day,
tracing its early influences and highlighting contemporary
developments. Forty-six seminal and representative papers of
psychoanalysts belonging to the two Italian psychoanalytical
societies (the Italian Psychoanalytical Society and the Italian
Association of Psychoanalysis) have been chosen to illuminate what
is special about Italian theoretical and clinical thinking, and
what is demonstrative of the specificity of its psychoanalytic
discourse. The selected papers are preceded by a first introductory
section about the history of psychoanalysis in Italy and followed
by a "swift glance at Italian psychoanalysis from abroad". They are
grouped into sections which represent the areas particularly
explored by Italian psychoanalysis. Each section is accompanied by
introductory comments which summarize the main ideas and concepts
and also their historical and cultural background, so as to offer
to the reader either an orientation and stimulus for the debate and
to indicate their connections to other papers included in the
present volume and to the international psychoanalytic world. The
book is divided into six parts including: History of psychoanalysis
in Italy Metapsychology Clinical practice, theory of technique,
therapeutic factors The person of the analyst, countertransference
and the analytic relationship/field Trauma, psychic pain, mourning
and working-through Preverbal, precocious, fusional, primitive
states of the mind This volume offers an excellent and detailed
"fresco" of Italian psychoanalytic debate, shining a light on
thinking that has evolved differently in France, England, North and
Latin America. It is an ideal book for beginners and advanced
students of clinical theory as well as experienced psychoanalysts
wanting to know more about Italian psychoanalytic theory and
technique, and how they have developed.

The author focuses, among others, on Freud, Ferenczi, and
Winnicott, but also on Heimann, Bion, Alice Balint, Michael Balint,
Enid Balint, and Little."

Following Bion's Legacy to Groups (1998), this is a second
selection of papers taken from the centenary conference on Bion's
work held in Turin in 1997. This volume concentrates on theoretical
and clinical psychoanalysis.Contributors: Deocleciano Bendocchi
Alves, Francesca Bion, Parthenope Bion Talamo, Emanuele Bonasia,
Franco Borgogno, Hayde Faimberg, Antonino Ferro, Andr Green, James
Grotstein, Isabel Luzuriaga, Alberto Meotti, Silvio A. Merciai,
Gianni Nebbiosi, Romolo Petrini, Rosa De Ferreira, Paulo Cesar
Sandler, and Elizabeth Tabak De Bianchedi."'How are we to become
wise when so much emphasis is placed on cleverness, on building
increasingly complex substitutes for thought? Where does wisdom
come on a scale measuring success?' So writes Francesca Bion,
considering her husband's work. A fitting tribute to Bion would be
a collection of papers containing passionate attempts at thinking,
not substitutes for thought. In this book, concern with psychic
life, far from being dead, reaches new places, takes deeper, more
nuanced turns. The authors penetrate subtly into our lying ways and
soundly appreciate the complexities of our hunger for truth and
experience." - Michael Eigen
