Listen to a clip

Recorded by the Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute

Presenter: WALKER SHIELDS

Discussant: BENJAMIN EVETT

Great imaginative literature invites us deeply into the complexity of love relationships and the mysteries of the Unconscious. As an audience during the production of a play, we may engage with emotional depth and immediacy with the inner worlds of the actors and the director as they take up their roles in response to the creative design of the author. The hopeful prospect: Expansion of consciousness with access to new transformative resources for all participants. We will explore Wilfred Bion’s inter-subjective theory of thinking in relation to these observations and psychoanalysis.
