拜昂精神分析容器理论

Bion and the Psychoanalytic Theory of Container

拜昂是20世纪中后期最具影响力的精神分析客体关系思想家和实践者之一,后克莱因学派的主要代表人物。他继承、扩充和深化了克莱因的投射性认同思想,将其发展为一种独特的人际互动的容器理论。拜昂认为,容纳是母亲和婴儿最早的沟通方式,也是患者和分析师之间相互作用的一种模式。在此过程中,母亲或分析师发挥着容器的功能,将婴儿或患者投射的贝塔元素转变为阿尔法元素。

Wilfred Bion was one of the most influential thinkers and practitioners of the object relations theory in the late 20th century and the primary representative personage in post-Klein school of thought. Inheriting the idea of projective identification from Klein, he substantially extended and deepened Klein＇s theory, developing it into his own characteristic interpersonal containment theory. According to Bion, containment is not only the earliest way of communication between mother and infant but should be the mode of interaction between patient and psychoanalyst as well. The psychoanalyst plays a maternal role and functions as the containment, which transfers the projective β factor from the infant （ client ） into the α factor.
