| Extra Info | : | With Annie Reiner & Aner Govrin (Chair) An in-depth conversation between Annie Reiner and Aner Govrin, editor of the Routledge Introduction to Contemporary Psychoanalysis series, on Annie’s new book W. R. Bion’s Theories of Mind: A Contemporary Introduction. In this dialogue, Aner invites Annie to reflect on how her book both consolidates and extends the field of contemporary psychoanalysis. Dr Reiner’s understanding of Bion’s work derives not only from decades of reading his theories but from having had the opportunity to “read” Bion himself during the years he spent teaching, lecturing, and practicing in Los Angeles. This provided insight into his enigmatic and intriguing, if often perplexing, ideas, and how he presented them. Central to these ideas is Bion’s concept of O, his most mysterious and controversial concept, which he saw as central to psychoanalysis and essential to clinical work. It is inseparable from his ideas about thinking and the mind. |
