The Poetry, Art and Science of Psychoanalysis in Bion's O

Author(s) : Annie Reiner

Reviews and Endorsements

I spent precious moments in reading Dr. Annie Reiner’s new book, The Poetry, Art and Science of Psychoanalysis in Bion’s 'O'. Dr. Reiner worked with Bion in Los Angeles and shares with him a view of poetry as a particularly valuable language for communicating the mysteries of the mind. This book is a welcome follow-up to her Bion and Being: Passion and the Creative Mind (Karnac, 2012). In her new book, the author explores Bion's ‘O’ from the perspectives of psychoanalytic practice, philosophy, spirituality, and the visual arts. Each chapter offers many refreshing insights that are illuminated by Reiner’s own poetry, as well as that of other poets.

Dr. Annie Reiner’s writing about poetry, art, and Bion’s ‘O’ is absolutely exquisite. Her style is clear and accessible while also being sophisticated. The author, with great delicacy, offers the reader beautiful poems of her own creation, which vividly express the search for a direct language that comes closer to emotional truth. There is not much written about the similarities between the languages of art, science, and psychoanalysis, so this book fills an important need.
