There are few figures in the history of psychoanalysis comparable in scale, scope and depth of theoretical research to the British psychoanalyst Wilfred Bion. His scientific heritage includes works on group dynamics, the mechanism of psychosis, the formation of human consciousness and thought processes. In this book, he makes an attempt to describe his universal theory, which combines the main psychoanalytic concepts.
There are few figures in the history of psychoanalysis comparable in scale, scope and depth of theoretical research to the British psychoanalyst Wilfred Bion. His scientific heritage includes works on group dynamics, the mechanism of psychosis, the formation of human consciousness and thought processes. In this book, he makes an attempt to describe his universal theory, which combines the main psychoanalytic concepts. To this end, he singles out the «key elements of psychoanalysis» and writes down their relationship with the precision of mathematical formulas. At the same time, in the course of this work, he touches on some topics and problems (such as the intuition of the analyst, interaction in the analytical process) that his followers continue to develop.
