Bion's life encompassed significant events of the 20th century. Born in India in 1897, he attended boarding school in England at the age of 8 and enlisted in the tanks during World War One at 18. Following his medical training between the wars, he played a pioneering role in his wartime work for the army. After the war, he became a patient of Melanie Klein, qualified as a psychoanalyst, and actively participated in an exceptional era of psychoanalysis focused on exploring psychotic mechanisms within patients. In the late 1950s, he identified the configuration container/contained as a central aspect of human development. He sought inspiration from philosophers, scientists, mathematicians, and even theo-mystical thinkers, expanding the boundaries of his work. Throughout the 1960s, his work underwent a radical transformation, and at the age of 70, when many would consider slowing down, he emigrated to California and embarked on international travels, delivering lectures and supervising across three continents. After Freud, Bion emerges as one of the most widely cited psychoanalysts of our time, and this book offers a valuable opportunity, even for those familiar with his work, to delve into the vast scope of his achievements, showcased brilliantly in this concise volume.
As author of Bion: 365 Quotes ,Nicola Abel-Hirschs deep engagement with Bion's extensive body of work has resulted in a comprehensive introduction to both the man and his work. Her skillful handling, while maintaining the necessary depth, renders the reading experience delightful. Bion and his work can be enigmatic, but Abel-Hirsch's understanding provides an ideal entry point into the world of Bion and his ideas.
