Sinopsis

This exciting and original collection explores Antonino FerroâÇÖs post-Bionian Field Theory, expanding upon the analytic work of Wilfred Bion to focus on the intersubjective development of psychic regulatory processes. Written by members of the Boston Group for Psychoanalytic Studies who have maintained a close and fruitful collaboration with Ferro and his colleagues, the book centers on understanding, engaging and treating primitive mental states.áFerroâÇÖs Field Theory operationalizes BionâÇÖs concept of an analyst who is not the repository of âÇÖthe truthâÇÖ, but is instead one who has the capacity to listen, to dwell in doubt, to utilize reverie, humor and play, and facilitate the transformation of previously unthinkable aspects of the patientâÇÖs experience into articulatable mental elements such as pictorial images, thoughts and dreams. FerroâÇÖs contributions and their analysis are especially relevant to working with primitive character disorders,átheádifficulties of whichálie beyond neurosis and the comfortable reach of the precepts of classical analytic technique. Each chapter features detailed clinical examples that explicate and apply post-Bionian Field Theory, making this book an interesting and useful read for analysts and analytic therapists of all orientations, who work with patients in all diagnostic categories.
