Reviews and Endorsements

The present book will be of interest to those who are approaching Bion for the first time, to those who are specifically studying Bion's Transformations, but also to a general psychoanalytic readership who are interested in the metapsychological and epistemological implications of the concept of transformation. I find this book particularly well calibrated towards a broad readership: the academic specialist, the well-read and mature psychoanalytic reader, and the novice. In this book, the authors apply a distinctive reading method specifically to Bion's Transformations (1965). It is a psychoanalytic deconstructive reading suitable to the exercise of (clinical) imagination, parameterized by consistent epistemological principles, the authors constantly focuses and defocuses the diverse statutes of the concept of transformations, with his vast and refined philosophical knowledge. This book will inspire many readings and re-readings of Bion, a seminal author.
