About

Learning from Experience Synopsis

'As the problems raised in this book are fundamental to learning they have a long history of investigation and discussion. In phsycho-analytical practice, particularly with patients displaying symptoms of disorders of thought, it becomes clear that psycho-analysis has added a dimension to problems if not to their solution. 'This book deals with emotional experiences that are directly related both to theories of knowledge and to clinical psycho-analysis, and that in the most practical manner.'- Wilfred R.

Bion, from the Introduction. In this book Bion describes his use of the term "e;alpha-function"e; to conceptualize how the data of emotional experience is processed and digested. This includes his thinking on "e;contact barriers"e; and the bearing of "e;projective identification"e; on the genesis of thought.
