January 4, 2021 — Wilfred R.Bion – theory of thinking, alpha/beta elements
[5 pages]
Bion is often referenced as a major theoretician after Freud. He aims to articulate a metapsychology, taking on the whole picture of the mental process of thinking. Segal provides a clinical application of the Kleinian-Bionian model of the mind.
