Abstract

SALVITTI, Adriana. Experience in group: notes on Bion's style, transmission of psychoanalysis and reading method. J. psicanal. [online]. 2013, vol.46, n.85, pp.159-164. ISSN 0103-5835.

The author presents some characteristics of Bion's style, articulating his rhetorical strategy with the transmission of psychoanalysis. The book Experiences in Groups (Bion, 1961/2004) is used to show how the narrative of Bion's clinical observations is also intended as a way of reproducing an emotional atmosphere. Through a performative language, Bion involves the reader in the creation of an enlarged group, and so finds a way to communicate and to disseminate his ideas promoting a clinical thinking. This book is also used by the author to outline a method of reading and interpreting texts.

Keywords : style; transmission of psychoanalysis; performative language; group.
