Abstract
This chapter focuses on the Latin saying, e pluribus unum, the United States’ motto that translates as ‘out of many, one’, which is the essence of what is meant by analytic Field Theory. It describes the early contribution to Field Theory in the work of John Rickman and Wilfred Bion beginning in the early 1940s and through Bion’s papers on group phenomena in the early 1950s, eventually leading to the Field theories promulgated by Antonino Ferro and Giuseppe Civitarese. The chapter explores in detail the formation of an analytic Field as it appears in statu nascendi in the analytic situation and the highly complex processes by which this entity arises in an analysis, relying heavily on the dream theories of Freud and Bion. It also focuses on analytic Field Theory deal with the analytic couple, the focus in this contribution is on the dynamics of that Field when three persons are involved, specifically in analytic supervision.
