  • More about Psychoanalysis and Dreams: Bion, the Field and the Viscera of the Mind


Psychoanalysis and Dreams explores Antonino Ferros' theoretical model of transformations in dreams and work in the analytic session, emphasizing the transition from a psychoanalysis of contents to a psychoanalysis that develops the apparatus for thinking based on the conception of an unconscious in a perennial state of construction and transformation.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 144 pages
Publication date: 07 February 2019
Publisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd


Psychoanalysis and Dreams delves into the core principles of Antonino Ferros theoretical framework while also pushing the boundaries of dreamlike exploration. Drawing upon Bions theory of alpha function and the analytic field, Ferro has crafted his unique interpretation of transformations in dreams and the transformative nature of the analytic session as a waking dream.

The book prominently showcases Ferros' theory that the transformative process in dreams occurs continually within the mind of the analyst, who undermines the reality status of the patients communication and perceives the patients narrative as a dream that must be constructed in real-time during the encounter between the two minds at work. At the heart of Ferros' theoretical proposal lies the shift from a psychoanalysis of contents to a psychoanalysis that fosters the development of thinking apparatus, based on the notion of an unconscious that exists in a perpetual state of construction and transformation, which must be dreamed, and which continuously expands as it is dreamed.

Written for practicing and training psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, and psychiatrists, Psychoanalysis and Dreams offers valuable insights into everyday psychoanalytic and psychotherapeutic work.
