Reviews
When approaching Bion's A Memoir of the Future (MF) we can recall Laertius words: ...skimming over the book of Heraclitus; 'tis a difficult road, for mist is there, and darkness hard to pierce, but if you have the truth as a guide, then everything is clearer than the sun. Anybody interested in Bion immense contribution to the understanding of the working mind, reading MF is absolutely indispensable because represents the physiology of the intrapsychic, a space of dream paradoxically at once, obscure and radiant. This is why, Giuseppe Civitarese and a group of outstanding psychoanalysts, psychologists and literary writers, after carefully scrutinizing all sides of MF, had finally provided a torch of intuition to 'pierce its darkness.' I highly recommend this book to all professionals in mental health interested in Bion's contributions Rafael Lopez-Corvo is a Psychiatrist and a training and supervising psychoanalyst of the IPA, Venezuelan and Canadian Psychoanalytic Societies. This volume is an indispensable introduction to Bion's remarkable, long neglected, provocative and often puzzling masterpiece, Memoir of the Future. It reveals and explores the many dimensions of Bion's final, passionate attempt to illuminate the realm of dream work and psychic reality, as it shows how Bion moves beyond linear, narrative discourse in the hopes of transmitting to his readers the meaning of what we call psychic reality through an experience of the psychic movements that produce thought, feeling and enigmatic, emergent truth Howard B.
