Reviews

Bion's formidable psychoanalytic theories have begun to take center stage in the international world of psychoanalysis and psychotherapy. Some aspects of them are well-known. Others remain obscure and perplexing to many. Dr. Lopez-Corvo has contributed a superb and faithful rendition of the entirety of Bion's complex episteme and has grounded his laudable work in clinical applications. His contribution raises the bar on Bion's studies scholarship. It is immensely useful and constitutes a worthy sequel to his Dictionary of Bion's Work. Wild Thoughts belongs in every psychoanalyst's and psychotherapist's library. --James S. Grotstein, M.D. With an impressive number of interdisciplinary tools Dr. Lopez-Corvo continues his multifaceted exploration of Bion's theory, and buttressed by ample case materials, flushes out the ways that a mind may be murdered or enhanced. --Patrick Mahony, Ph.D. Training Analyst
