On Mental Growth: Bion's Ideas that Transform Psychoanalytical Clinical Practice

Author(s) : Lia Pistiner de Cortinas

Reviews and Endorsements

‘Psychoanalysis owes Bion some of its most original contributions. He conceives the mind as an expanding universe evolving towards mental growth or deterioration. The originality of his ideas and the new models he proposes demand an open-minded approach “without memory, without desire, without understanding”. The inclusive amplitude of his ideas and intuition containing questions that went far beyond his time, without having a frame to contain them, made Bion a difficult author. Lia Pistiner de Cortiñas is internationally known as an author who conveys Bion’s ideas with a deep insight. She is revisiting Bion’s hypotheses and developing her original perspective on reverie, the function of “dreaming”, mental growth, and the transformations these ideas introduce in the psychoanalytic clinical practice.’
