Bion does not agree to take on the role of the one who knows, but rather takes us on an excursion through his mind, in the attempt to listen and find words for the ineffable emotional experience. Bion allows himself to be stimulated by the material presented to him, guided by his faith in the psychoanalytic method. If we agree to surrender to this way of listening, we too can be suddenly struck and moved by a new thought that dawns on us. Bion illustrates his way of working, always deeply aware of the immense difficulty in being an analyst, in finding \"a language which conveys what you want it to convey, and at the same time, which the patient could understand\", struggling against the perpetual \"pressure to become insensitive, to grow a crust\".'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAvner Bergstein,\u003c\/b\u003e Israel Psychoanalytic Society; author of \u003ci\u003eBion and Meltzer's Expeditions into Unmapped Mental Life \u003c\/i\u003e(Routledge, 2018)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'It is impossible not to be enthusiastic about this book.
