W.R. Bion and Literary Modernism

我的研究是一个医学人文项目，专注于精神分析学家W.R.Bion已故的文学作品。我的研究认为，对毕恩晚期的文学作品的欣赏，对于全面理解这位精神分析学家的工作至关重要。拜恩一直在寻找新的方法来更好地传达精神分析会议正在展开的情感现实；他果断地打破了临床写作的公认惯例，例如延长的病历，产生了一系列越来越正式的实验文本，更有能力传达他的成熟理论。因此，我的项目最近将拜恩被严重忽视的精神分析小说《未来回忆录》作为他职业生涯中对精神病心理状态及其心理治疗研究的顶峰。此外，通过考察他在回忆录中运用自己经历的方式--尤其是作为西线坦克指挥官的经历--我的项目解决了关于个人回忆录、临床理论和实验风格之间的复杂相互关系的重要问题。除了考察它如何启发毕恩的临床思想，我的研究还质疑回忆录本身作为一部晚期现代主义文学作品的地位。从历史上看，《回忆录》一直受到精神分析学家和文学历史学家的回避--精神分析学家抗议它是一本临床上不相关的文本--对他们来说，拜恩的意义只在于他与塞缪尔·贝克特的外围关系，因为他曾经是这位剧作家的心理治疗师。从新现代主义研究不断扩展其传统的时间和空间界限的领域中，我的工作解决了文学中的这种缺陷-确定了毕恩作为一名全球流动的作家/理论家的兴趣，深深地参与了高度现代主义的遗产。

My research is a medical humanities project, focused on the late, literary writing of the psychoanalyst W.R. Bion. Highly regarded for his work into the psychoanalytic understanding of psychosis, my research argues that an appreciation of Bion's late, literary output is essential for a full and comprehensive understanding of the psychoanalyst's work. Bion consistently sought new ways to better communicate the unfolding emotional reality of a psychoanalytic session; he broke decisively with accepted conventions of clinical writing, such as the extended case history, to produce a series of increasingly formally experimental texts more capable of conveying his mature theories. Accordingly, my project recentres Bion's critically neglected psychoanalytic 'science fiction' novel "A Memoir of the Future" as the culmination of his career-long investigation into psychotic states of mind and their psychotherapeutic treatment. Moreover, by examining the ways in which he employs his own experiences in the Memoir-notably those as a tank commander on the Western Front-my project addresses important questions about the complex interrelationship between personal memoir, clinical theory and experimental style within Bion's writing. In addition to examining how it can illuminate Bion's clinical thought, my research also interrogates the Memoir's status as a piece of late modernist literature in its own right. The Memoir has historically been eschewed by both psychoanalysts-protesting its obscurity as a clinically irrelevant text-and literary historians-for whom Bion's relevance lies only in his peripheral relation to Samuel Beckett as the playwright's one-time psychotherapist. Taking its impetus from the New Modernist Studies' ongoing expansion of the field beyond its traditional temporal and spatial boundaries, my work addresses this deficit in the literature-identifying Bion's interest as a globally mobile writer/theoretician, deeply engaged with the legacies of high modernism.
