A clinical application of Bion's concepts
P. C. Sandler
2009
This work explores the practical integration of Wilfred Bion's psychoanalytic theories into clinical practice, focusing on how concepts such as the container-contained relationship and reverie can illuminate the analytic process. Sandler provides specific examples of interpretation, particularly through dream analysis, demonstrating Bion's framework's utility in understanding unconscious mental functioning. The book offers a detailed examination of how these theoretical constructs can be applied to facilitate therapeutic change for patients.
