Bion (1897 - 1979) and Lacan (1901 - 1981) were two of the most original thinkers in the fragmented world of psychoanalysis. This book describes an encounter between them which never took place, an imagined conversation in which their similarities and differences are brought to life and made present in the text. When we think about their thinking, it can come to inhabit us intellectually, opening up new horizons and sowing the seeds of the future. For works of genius do not come close to exhausting their possibilities: they are there to be worked on by those who follow afterwards.
The authors investigate the basic ideas of these two psychoanalysts, while engaging in a conversation about the bearing of psychoanalysis on the realities and conflicts of everyday life
