The Life and Work of Wilfred Bion: A Talk by Dr Joseph Aguayo on the 1st July 2016

TICKET-ONLY EVENT - PLEASE NOTE THIS EVENT IS NOW SOLD OUT.

Dr Joseph Aguayo will discuss the life and work of Wilfred Bion, explaining how Bion’s published and unpublished writings add to our knowledge of his clinical theories. He will cover 4 periods of Bion’s work: (1) the war and peacetime group work; (2) the Kleinian work on the psychoses; (3) the epistemology; and (4) the controversial ‘late’ California period of Bion’s Clinical Seminars.

The event will be held at Karnac Books, 118 Finchley Road, London, NW3 5HT. If you are coming by tube, our shop is opposite Finchley Road station, which is on the Metropolitan and Jubilee lines. Please click here for more details about how to find us.

The event will start at 7pm. Doors open at 6.30pm. Tickets are limited and must be purchased in advance - there will be none available on the day - so book now to secure your place.

We anticipate that the talk will last until around 8pm (including a Q&A session) and then there will be a chance to browse among Karnac's extensive bookshelves.

All tickets include a glass of wine and nibbles, and the price will be redeemable on the night against any purchase of £24 or more.
