Abstract
Each population considered in this article has been treated through numerous samples of particular cases and by different analysts. However, for the purpose of exposing the application of the continent/content theory in the different populations, a single case extract is taken as a sample per population. The populations considered here are: neurotics, users of crisis intervention services, borderline patients, and severely psychotic patients.
Highlights
Wilfred Ruprecht Bion (1897-1979) born in Muttra, India, was a British physician, psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, of Huguenot descent and of Greek roots [1]
Regarding the question that Etchegoyen asks himself: How far is it received and since when does it begin to be returned according to the counter transference? I answer that the measure to receive and to return in the continent/content can be estimated when we can scrutinize in the counter transference in which we could fall into counter-projective identification and we do not fall into it
It can be clearly seen that the continent/content theory is always applicable in the analytical process with all types of patients
Summary
Wilfred Ruprecht Bion (1897-1979) born in Muttra, India, was a British physician, psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, of Huguenot descent and of Greek roots [1] He is one of the psychoanalysts that I most admire for the depth of his reflections on the genesis of thought, Citation: Orozco JAN (2020) Some Considerations on the Continent/Content Theory in Psychoanalytic Technique. Bion’s contributions to psychoanalysis are numerous: The love - hate - knowledge matrix, his postulate “without memory or desire”, his conception of the unknowable, his notion of vertex, the continent/content theory, his discoveries about the Alpha function, on Beta elements, on group mentality, etc. Overall, Wilfred Bion’s work is an excellent contribution to understanding the psychotic part of personality, thinking, and emotional experience
