Reviews and Endorsements

'Howard Levine and his Boston Group were among the first outside of Italy to become interested in the study of post-Bionian Field Theory. Marked by innovative theoretical elaborations and abundant clinical examples, this book is an important testimony to their many fruitful exchanges with Antonino Ferro and the Pavia School. I warmly recommend it to psychotherapists and psychoanalysts at all levels, who are in search of new and versatile working tools to devote to the treatment of psychic suffering.' - Giuseppe Civitarese, author of Sublime Subjects: Aesthetic Experience and Intersubjectivity in Psychoanalysis

'Ferro’s integration of Baranger’s Field Theory, Bion’s theory of transformations and his own concept of co-narratives has had a profound effect on psychoanalysis worldwide. This book shows experienced analysts at work offering readers a clear history, conceptual description, elaboration and clinical application of Ferro’s seminal ideas, as it plunges us into zones that are the core of our analytic interactions and psychic life. Levine and the other authors’ success in integrating fundamental European, American and South American concepts in their approach makes this book truly unique.' - Rudi Vermote, author of Reading Bion, training and supervising analyst, Belgian Psychoanalytic Society.
