Annotation This stimulating collection of papers explores the formative influences affecting Bion's emotional and intellectual development. The contributors, coming from the fields of psychoanalysis, group analysis, management consultancy and social science, revisit the origins of Bion's ideas, setting them in the context of his World War I experiences, his contact with Trotter, and his later work with the Tavistock Clinic and psychoanalysis.
