‘These essays that illuminate and are rooted in the ideas of Wilfred Bion are written from the heart, with warmth, depth and incisive intelligence. They provide a penetrating insight into the trajectory of Bion’s thinking and make an important contribution in their own right to the understanding of mental movement, its role in psychic functioning and its relation to the cultural surround. Their innovative application and extension of Bion’s understanding of the centrality of unique, personal emotional experience in psychic growth and development are a testament to the author’s observation that “thinking dies if it is not refertilised and subsequently developed in the generation and the mind of each thinker”..’
