Industry Reviews

"Attacks on Linking is a crucial way station in Bion's oeuvre that can be read as the culmination of his Kleinian contributions to the understanding and treatment of psychosis and primitive mental life or as a key turning point towards his later, original theories regarding projective identification and the intersubjective functioning and development of the primitive mind. This volume brings together an outstanding group of international contributors who explore, contrast and expand upon both perspectives and their clinical implications. In so doing, they offer readers a profound and vital excursion into current Bion scholarship at the frontiers of contemporary psychoanalytic theory and technique."-- (06/28/2017)
"The ideas developed in Attacks on Linking have broadened the understanding of the processes of symbolisation and the analytic treatment of difficult patients. These aspects are taken up in this book in a clear and profound way. The reader is struck by the passionate interest with which the authors dissect Bion's text. Another merit of the book is to show us the originality with which psychoanalysts of different theoretical orientations take ownership of the ideas discussed. These different visions reflect, in a creative way, facets of contemporary psychoanalysis. I am sure the reader, regardless of his or her theoretical preference, will feel enriched both in relation to psychoanalytic theory and in relation to the clinical application of the ideas presented and discussed."-- (06/28/2017)
