I will present two papers. These lectures explore the work of two contemporary analysts, Michael Eigen and Neville Symington, and how both were deeply influenced by the work of W.R. Bion. The first lecture is titled “Facets of Faith”. It explores the role of psychoanalytic faith as the basis of a welcoming function in the work of Bion and Eigen. The second paper is titled “Realization: Symington reading Bion”. This paper discusses the importance of an analyst’s inner experience as a crucial variable in the therapeutic process, drawing deeply on the ideas of Neville Symington.
