Routledge - The Violence of Emotions: Bion and Post-Bionian Psychoanalysis

Explore the depths of the human mind with The Violence of Emotions: Bion and Post-Bionian Psychoanalysis. Part of The New Library of Psychoanalysis, this work by Giuseppe Civitarese provides a deep look into the analytic session through a passionate rereading of Bion. This book balances theoretical argument with clinical examples to show how psychoanalysis functions as an empirical study. By focusing on the capacity of the mind to create illuminating hypotheses, the text helps readers understand the complexities of psychological processes. Civitarese uses analytic field theory as the primary model for his approach. This perspective builds upon the work of various authors, including Ferro, starting with Bion and continuing through post-Bionian developments. It is a valuable resource for those studying the evolution of psychoanalytic thought and the practical application of field theory in clinical settings.
