Abstract:
'This work constitutes an outstanding piece of Bion scholarship and interpretation. One comes away from it with a deep appreciation for the authors dreaming of Bion's work and for the light she has shined on many of Bions more recondite themes.'- James Grotstein MD, Professor of Psychiatry, UCLA School of Medicine.
