Wild Thoughts Searching for a Thinker

Wild Thoughts Searching for a Thinker: A Clinical Application of W. E. Bion's Theories uses several of Bion's contributions to psychoanalytic theory in order to evaluate, from a clinical perspective, 'classical' psychoanalytic concepts such as narcissism, transference and countertransference, interpretation, the false self, and the unconscious in its relation to consciousness. In combining Bion's theory with practical applications and clinical observations, Lopez-Corvo has not only created an interesting and penetrating analysis of Bion's theories that provides a wonderful introduction to the world of Bion; he has also placed Bion's theories into theoretical and analytical context and illuminated the myriad ways in which the theories of W. E. Bion may be used within psychoanalytic practice.
