Reviews and Endorsements

This book is a wonderful addition to the numerous volumes dealing with the work of Wilfred Bion. It offers a wide array of contributions and clinical illustrations written by an impressive international group of authors and will deepen the reader’s understanding and breadth of Bion’s writings. I highly recommend it to clinicians on all levels of training who are interested in the study of Bion’s works and their application to psychoanalytic practice and theory.

The Bion Seminars at the A-Santamaría Association: Clinical and Theoretical Explorations is an enlightening and stimulating collection of chapters that delve deeply into the complexities of the human psyche as reflected in some of Wilfred Bion's most beautiful writings. Each chapter offers unique insights and perspectives that contribute to a comprehensive exploration of psychoanalytic theory and clinical practice. From the concept of the imaginary twin to negative capability and the concept of "transformation," this book navigates the intricacies of Bion's psychoanalysis with expertise and finesse. The contributors, Peter Goldberg, Tom Helscher, Afsaneh Alisobhani, Annie Reiner, Nicola Abel-Hirsch, Howard Levine, Antonia Grimalt, Avner Bergstein, and Joao Carlos Braga, offer perspectives and intuitions that challenge conventional wisdom and expand our understanding of the human experience. Whether exploring Bion's issues about the limits of language or the meaning of frustration, these chapters invite readers on a journey that will leave them with a passionate picture of one of the most original and thought-provoking writers in the history of psychoanalysis. This book is a valuable resource for clinicians, researchers, and anyone in the field of humanities interested in what psychoanalysis can tell us about the essence of our humanity.
