Description

Explore psychoanalytic thinking through the lens of W.R. Bion's groundbreaking work with this comprehensive guide that examines individual psychology, group dynamics, and societal structures. This book applies Bion's theories across three interconnected domains, beginning with clinical perspectives on his theory of thinking, his reinterpretation of the Oedipus myth, and the concept of the "selected fact", illustrated through vignettes that illuminate the emotional dimensions of psychological thought. The second section delves into small group processes and their unconscious dynamics, demonstrating how Bion's paradigms have reshaped contemporary psychoanalytic understanding of collective behaviour. Published by Routledge as part of The New International Library of Group Analysis series, this work synthesises complex psychoanalytic theory into accessible ideas whilst maintaining scholarly rigour, making it essential reading for clinicians, group analysts, and students seeking to understand modern applications of Bion's influential contributions to psychology and psychotherapy.

Key Features

Bion's theory of thinking is examined through clinical vignettes that illustrate emotional and cognitive dimensions of psychoanalytic work.

The book explores Bion's reinterpretation of the Oedipus myth and introduces the concept of the "selected fact" as foundational psychoanalytic ideas.

Small group unconscious processes receive dedicated analysis, showing how Bion's paradigms have transformed group analytic practice and theory.

The New International Library of Group Analysis series context ensures scholarly credibility and integration with contemporary group analytic discourse.

Three organisational prisms-individual, group, and society-structure the book to show how Bion's ideas apply across psychological scales and contexts.
