Abstract

This paper intends to map the impact of Bion’s ideas on the way the author thinks psychoanalysis and the psychoanalytic craft. It is, therefore, a personal testimony and a snapshot among the many contributions from Bion. Aspects of the model of mental function are discussed, as well as the objectives of an analysis, the technical tools of the analytic work, the analysts, and their institutions. The importance of Bion’s convergence with Matte-Blanco is highlighted. In closing, a fragment of a clinical material is presented where the ways by which the author works, drawing from many experiences and studies throughout her years of practice and marked mainly by the impact of Bion’s contributions are discussed.
