Reviews and Endorsements
Antonino Ferro… has helped revitalize a noble art, but one that sometimes runs the risk of being reduced to ritualistic repetition of empty formulas… more the litany of a religious rite than the exercise of a true love for research about the essence of what makes us human. It is about time that a monograph devoted entirely to him and his thought saw the light of day. For this we must be grateful to Robert Snell, the author of this beautiful book. It is easy to predict that it will be a great success among all psychotherapists, psychoanalysts, humanities scholars and educated people interested in psychoanalysis.
Giuseppe Civitarese, author of Sublime Subjects: Aesthetic Experience and Intersubjectivity in Psychoanalysis
The mastery of Bion's work and familiarity with Italian psychoanalysis make Robert Snell's work a precious manual of post-Bionian Field Theory. The clear style and the competent and balanced attitude make reading pleasant, not only to those who want to approach the fundamentals of BFT but also to those who, already familiar with it, want to bring order to theoretical concepts and clinical practice.
Fulvio Mazzacane, Member of the SPI, President of the Centro Psicoanalitico de Pavia
The profound essence of certain landscapes took on new meaning for me through the pages of this book… an invaluable contribution.
Antonino Ferro, President of the Italian Psychoanalytic Society, training and supervising analyst in the Italian Psychoanalytic Society, the American Psychoanalytic Association, and the International Psychoanalytical Association
