1. This volume is based on the premise of a ‘new wave’ in
Bionian studies based on his clinical work; 2. Aguayo considers the
entirety of Bion’s clinical work, as well as his publications, to
inform this comprehensive volume, highlighting his cross-modal,
interdisciplinary thinking and the way this was informed by
philosophy, mathematics, history and literature 3. The volume is
designed to open new discussions on Bion’s importance in a
clinical – rather than merely theoretical - sphere

Wilfred Bion's unpublished lectures at the Los Angeles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.

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."
Bion in the Consulting Room addresses the long unanswered question
of Bion’s clinical and supervisorial technique and examines the
way Bion’s conceptual model and clinical practices informed his
theoretical work. As Bion wrote about technique so rarely, the
authors set about looking at many of his clinical and supervisorial
examples to infer what might be learnt from them. This book factors
in the four distinctive periods of Bion's clinical and
supervisorial work in chronological order: the group period of the
1940s; the period of the psychosis papers in the 1950s; the
epistemological period of the early 1960s; and finally, the period
of his international group seminars in the late 1960s and 1970s. In
all four periods, the authors examine and analyse his method of
clinical enquiry, or how he went about knowing and experiencing his
analysands and supervisees. The authors offer a uniquely
overarching view of his method of clinical enquiry, uncovering an
amazing consistency in how Bion went about his work both as a
psychoanalyst and supervisor. This illuminating book is essential
reading for psychoanalysts, psychotherapists and psychologists
interested in the work of Wilfred Bion and the importance of his
legacy in contemporary practice.
