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.

This book explores the concept of certainty, a term which is widely
used in everyday language to designate a psychological experience
or feeling but is rarely considered controversial or politically
charged. The Feeling of Certainty argues that conversely this most
ordinary of feelings plays a key role in shaping identity
formation, social exclusion, prejudice, and commitment to political
causes. The authors question what it means for the subject to feel
certainty about her or his relationships to self and others. From
where does the feeling of certainty originate, and how does it
differ from modes of thought that are open to scepticism about the
order of things? They draw on a wide range of theories, including
those of Freud, Klein, Lacan, Wittgenstein, Bion, and Jung,
challenging readers to consider the world of ideologies, symbols,
and stereotypes in which certainty is entrenched, as well as the
inter- and intra-psychic processes and defence mechanisms which
form the unconscious foundation of the experience of certainty.
This collection will offer valuable insight to scholars of
psychology, politics, social science and history.
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.

Personality Disorder offers a comprehensive and accessible
collection of papers that will be practically useful to
practitioners working in secure and non-secure settings with
patients who have personality disorders. This book brings together
fourteen classic papers, which address the impact that working with
personality disorder patients can have on staff. It also offers
theoretical explanations for personality disorder, and explores
other issues such as the concept of boundaries in clinical
practice, psychiatric staff as attachment figures and the
relationship between severity of personality disorder and childhood
experiences. Each paper is introduced with contextual material, and
is followed by a series of questions that are intended to be used
as educational exercises. This book will be essential reading for
clinical and forensic psychologists, psychiatrists, community
psychiatric nurses, social workers and students.
This book not only documents how a therapeutic community functions,
it also contributes to understanding how people can be influenced
by their social setting and how individuals can form coherent
social organizations together.' - Administration & Policy in
Mental Health 'Hinshelwood is a leading figure in the
pro-therapeutic communities camp. This book is a collection of many
of his papers and presentations on the subject. We enjoy a rich
journey through philosophical thought of the last 200 years with
Marx, Foucault and Wittgenstein, among others, making an
appearance. The book is strongest on the historical development of
therapeutic communities. There is plenty of food for thought here.'
- Mental Health Today 'In this book, Bob Hinshelwood distils a
lifetime of clinical and intellectual work to discuss the major
contours of the social and psychological processes that can be
found in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Using ideas
drawn from the psychoanalytic world he examines the powerful
relations that develop between groups and between individuals and
their social surroundings. The argument is clearly and securely
based, and will prove an enduring and helpful contribution to that
spirit of reflective enquiry to which he is so deeply committed.' -
Nick Manning The interplay between the internal world of
individuals and the external, social world has been the theme of
many papers R.D. Hinshelwood has published over the past two
decades. In this book he brings these ideas together, and shows how
they derive from therapeutic community practice, and have arisen
from a psychoanalytic understanding of the human unconscious. Many
institutional phenomena derive from this hidden level, and have
implications for therapeutic work in communities and in psychiatry,
for understanding institutions in general, and for reflecting on
public and political aspects of society at large. These themes link
discussions of communication phenomena, of thinking and action in
institutions, of alienation, and of the place of therapeutic
communities in a psychiatric service. Thinking About Institutions
not only documents how a therapeutic community functions, it also
contributes to understanding how people can be influenced by their
social setting and how individuals can form coherent social
organisations together.
