On Wilfred R. Bion's Way of Being: Linking Truth, Thought, and Nostalgia

Wilfred R. Bion's clinical thinking was profoundly impacted by his early childhood experiences in India. In this article, the author elucidates Bion's perspective on how "thought" is different from "thinking." Bion's notion of truth and thought takes us from chronological to the timeless. His longing to return to India is also evident in his theorization of "O." The clinical relevance of Bion's ideas is much debated and discussed, but rarely has any psychoanalytic writing touched upon the way in which psychoanalysis is linked with the sonic and sacred aspects of Om. Exploring the truth of and the truth in Bionian psychoanalytic thought will take us into the unexplored paths of how the experience of culture meets experience in the clinic. A sincere and critical reflection of the ideas proposed by Bion would certainly help us to locate its unexplored referents. He never came back to India, but his theories and ideas attempted to create contact with his early childhood experiences. Bion left India, but India never left him. Bion was a Hindu boy belonging to a Christian body. The ways in which Bion conceptualizes neurosis and psychosis are elucidated in this study. However, some of his ideas remain a challenge, fathoming which, requires remembering, repeating, and working through the clinical and mystical elements in his writing. 威尔弗雷德比昂的临床思考深受他童年早期在印度的经历的影响。在本文中,作者阐述了比昂关于"思想"是如何不同于"思考"的观点。比昂关于真实和思想的概念把我们从按时间顺序的维度,带到不受时间影响的维度。他想要重返印度的渴望在他的"O"理论中也很明显。比昂的概念与临床的相关性曾引起很多争议和讨论,但极少有精神分析文章提及过精神分析与Om的声音的和宗教的方面是如何连接的。在比昂的精神分析思想中真实和对真实的探索,将带我们进入一个未知的道路,即文化的体验是如何与临床中的体验相遇的。对于比昂所提出的概念的一个真诚的、批判性的反思,肯定会帮助我们来定位它未被探索到的地方。他从未重返印度,但他的理论和概念试图缔造出与他童年早期经验的接触。比昂离开了印度,但印度从未离开他。比昂是一个信奉基督教的印度男孩。本文阐明了比昂概念化神经症和精神病的方式。然而,他的一些概念仍然是一个挑战,要彻底了解它,需要回忆、重复和修通他的作品中的临床的神秘的元素。
