Psycho-analysis itself is just a stripe on the coat of the tiger. Ultimately it may meet the Tiger - The Thing Itself - O.
(W. R. Bion, A Memoir of the Future, 1991)
Most people experience mental death if they live long enough. You don't have to live long to have that experience— all you have to do is to be mentally alive.
(W. R. Bion, A Memoir of the Future, 1991)
The Conference in Torino ...

We have received a gift !!!
Marilyn Charles, Ph. D., wrote to me she had been "profoundly moved by the works of Bion" and she "wanted to participate, in some small way": so she offered a Visual Conception of O and authorized me to publish it on this Web page.
Thanks a lot, Marilyn!
