Psychoanalysis and Dreams: Bion, the Field and the Viscera of the Mind - Paperback

by Antonino Ferro (Author)

Dreams and Psychoanalysis explores some of the cornerstones of Antonino Ferro's theoretical model but also attempts to extend the dreamlike boundaries of the model. Based on the Bion's theory of alpha function and the analytic field, Ferro has developed his own original theorization of transformations in dreams and of work in the analytic session as a waking dream.
