Second Thoughts: Selected Papers on Psychoanalysis

by Wilfred R. Bion

Second Thoughts is a collection of papers on Schizophrenia, Linking and Thinking, and is a commentary upon them in the light of later work. Originally composed between 1950 and 1962, it derives its title from the lengthy critical commentary which Bion attached to these case histories in the year of publication, 1967, and represents the evolutionary change of position marked in his three previous books and brought to further refinement in the present work.

I continue to reread this book every few years. It was required reading in a seminar I took many years ago. Would not necessarily recommend this for someone not familiar with Bion & Klein to jump into. Nearly all of Bion's works are advanced stuff, but this is as good a book as any to start with.

El pensamiento bioniano es súper complejo pero ayuda mucho a la clínica. Mi paper favorito fue el que escribió sobre la arrogancia.

Interesting Beginning of the Bion theories and concepts not an easy read takes time to let the concepts sink in !
