Abstract
Wilfred Bion, 20th century British psychoanalyst, produced a four-book epistemological series midcentury that has deeply impacted contemporary psychoanalysis and showed unmistakable marks of being shaped decisively by Christian mystical theology. Key concepts—including reality's being incapable of being known, transformations in “O,” “at-one-ment,” incarnation, and the absence of memory and desire—draw deeply on St. John of the Cross and Meister Eckhart. Their impact has shifted normative psychoanalytic technique, raising the possibility that these changes can reciprocally contribute to theology and a life of faith.
