    Bion’s Vertices: On Truth and Lies

    Editor: Tomasz Fortuna

    What is the place of truth and lies in psychoanalytic discourse? What are the consequences in terms of collusion and communication? How can a ‘lie’ carry a meaning? These questions, and many more, are explored in the inaugural book of the new Contemporary Bion series from Phoenix. A stellar line-up of contributors examine these notions from a variety of perspectives with reference to Bion.

    Featuring Nicola Abel-Hirsch, Joseph Aguayo, David Bell, Ron Britton, Robert Caper, Roosevelt Cassorla, Maxine Dennis, Judy Eekhoff, Tomasz Fortuna, Denis Flynn, Antonia Grimalt, Alberto Hahn, R. D. Hinshelwood, Monica Horovitz, Dimitris-James Jackson, Carlos Tabbia, and Margot Waddell. With a Foreword from P. C. Sandler.

    Description

    Bion’s Vertices: On Truth and Lies is divided into three parts which investigate the truth/lie domain, emotional change and growth, and creativity in relation to truth and lies, and show its relevance in clinical practice. The wide-ranging discussions include chapters on aesthetic processes in poetry and psychoanalytic thought, knowledge, representation, misunderstandings, chaos, perversions, propaganda, the analyst’s mind, the protective function of lying, and racialisation in relational context.

    This is a must-read book for all those with an interest in Bion and the application of his theory to contemporary thought and practice.
