Product Description

Review
'Since Bion's papers on groups appeared... they have made a profound impact on social psychologists... Published within one relatively slight volume, the full status of this remarkable contribution is more readily appreciated... no one working with groups should be without this book for periodic re-reading.' - International Journal of Psycho-Analysis


Product Description
A classic study which, by synthesizing the approaches of psychoanalysis and group dynamics, has added a new dimension to the understanding of group phenomena.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bion's Experience in groups, 11 Jul 2003
By John O'Leary (Cork City, Cork Ireland) - See all my reviews
This is a fine book and needs slow and careful reading. Bion's explanatory style is meticulous and detailed but also full of very dry humour. It is not for beginners to group work, and is very much from a psychotherapist's perspective.

Bion shared a lot of common ground with Melanie Klein, and the book argues that projective identification is a mechanism that is very much alive in therapy groups. Bion classifies groups into four types, and provides detailed observations of each. He constantly links his thoughts with his practical experience.

Most usefully he raises important questions on how these group dynamics can appear outside the therapeutic environment, and in the "everyday" world.

One negative - there are a few typographical errors - particularly a significant one on Page 106 which should have been sorted out long ago.

4.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant - an expert walking his talk !, 16 Jun 2001
By A Customer
This is a superb study aid for those engaged in the counselling or psychotherapy world. An insightful and useful starting point for those engaged in working with groups and their process.

Not only does Bion walk his talk, he explains how he does it !
