TAILIEUCHUNG - Containing States of Mind

Containing States of Mind • Wilfred Bion's insights into the analytic process have had a profound influence on how psychoanalysts and psychotherapists understand emotional change and pathological mental states. One of his most influential ideas concerns the notion that we need the minds of others to develop our own emotional and cognitive capacities. In Containing States of Mind, Duncan Cartwright explores and develops some of the implications that Bion's container model has for clinical practice. He argues that the analyst or therapist best fulfils a containing function by negotiating irreconcilable internal tensions between his role as 'dream object' and 'proper object'.
