Extending the Psychoanalytic Listening Paradigm Listening with all the Senses

'In this book we find an ideal continuation of Bion's Italian Seminars, namely a book that tends to develop the capacity to feel and think with all our senses, allowing for the development of what will be conveyed in the narrative - something whose motto will be to extend the realm of thinkability to its furthest limits. It oscillates between Bion's A Memoire of the Future and Taming Wild Thoughts in a dreamlike dance between threads that are in the process of being woven, between the extensions of the senses and the ability to give word to embryonic states and to the narrative knots and their characters, where the narrative plot is coupled to the sensory.'

'It is an experiential immersion in the preverbal, in the atmospheres, temperatures, rhythms, and the bodily equivalents not recognised as such, but as they are experienced in a shared return [...] The Authors' writings introduce us into the experience of their inner laboratories, making us appreciate their atmospheres, rhythms, and styles, and the astuteness and elegance of their research. The illustrative, essential and illuminating clinical parts depict the various stories and situations with the trusty brushstrokes of the expert analyst, and provide the reader with numerous sensations of surprise at the depth of understanding they are able to instil.'
