拜昂的容纳功能理论及其对精神病的理解

Bion's Theory of Containment Function and His Comprehension of Psychosis

拜昂是20世纪后半期最具影响力的精神分析客体关系思想家和实践者之一。他继承了克莱因的投射性认同的思想,将其扩充、深化、发展成为一种独特的容纳理论。拜昂认为,容纳是母亲和婴儿最早的沟通方式,也是病人与精神分析师之间相互作用的一种模式。在心理病理学方面,拜昂以一种温和的方式在咨询室中引起了一场分析师如何理解患者的革命。

Wilfred Bion was one of the most influential thinkers and practitioners of the object relations theory in the late 20th century. Inheriting the idea of projective identification from Klein, he substantially extended and deepened Klein＇s theory, developing it into his own characteristic containment theory. According to Bion, containment not only is the earliest way of communication between mother and infant, but should be the mode of interaction between patient and psychoanalyst as well. In the field of psychopathology, Bion started a revolution in how to understand the patient in the consulting room in a mild way.
