Winnicott’s Letter to Bion presents reflections on a fascinating moment in the history of psychoanalytic thinking.
Winnicott’s Letter to Bion presents reflections on a fascinating moment in the history of psychoanalytic thinking.
Donald Winnicott’s letter, sent on October 5, 1967, and conveying thoughts about two of Wilfred Bion’s papers, never received a response. In this book, international contributors elaborate on the contents of the letter, overlapping and divergent projects of the two psychoanalysts, and the meaning of Bion’s silence. The chapters consider topics including the historical context of their work, their focuses on play and reverie, and the question of the sensuous.
Winnicott’s Letter to Bion will be of great interest to psychoanalysts in practice and in training, and to historians of psychoanalysis.
