This book deals with emotional experiences that are directly related both to theories of knowledge and to clinical psycho-analysis, and that in the most practical manner.

A discussion of categorising the ideational context and emotional experience that may occur in a psychoanalytic interview. The text aims to expand the reader's understanding of cognition and its clinical ramifications.

First published in 1965 this book is the continuation of Bion's investigation of various aspects of psychoanalytic theory and practice. He examines the way in which an analyst's description of the analytic experience necessarily transforms it, in order to effect an interpretation.

Bion argues that for the study of people - whether individually or in groups - accurate observation is essential. Problems of language are given careful consideration, and an attempt is made to show how certain psychological problems can be usefully compared with mathematical formulations.

These lectures, delivered in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro during 1973 and 1974, reveal Bion in his most vital and challenging mode both in respect of the material he presents, and in his responses to the questions from his audience.

Bion's semi-autobiographical psychoanalytic novel.

This is a collection of occasional writings by Bion, covering a period between 1958 and 1979, which delve into a wide range of material - psychoanalysis, science, mathematics and logic, literature and semantics.

In this book Bion describes his use of the term _alpha-function_ to conceptualize how the data of emotional experience is processed and digested. This includes his thinking on _contact barriers_ and the bearing of _projective identification_ on the genesis of thought.

Considers the concept of the container and the contained.

A reminiscence of the first twenty-one years of Wilfred Bion's life: eight years of childhood in India, ten years at public school in England, and three years of life in the army.
