  Beckett and Bion
Bion begins this essay in orthodox enough fashion, taking the `phantasied attacks on the breast as the prototype of all attacks on objects that serve as a link and projective identification as the mechanism employed by the psyche to dispose of ego fragments produced by its destructiveness' (ST, 93).
Bion distinguished the positive forms of the container-contained relation, which actually lead onwards to further development from negative, or parasitic forms, in which the container may be persecutory, neurotic or otherwise constrictive.
Bion's work of psychoanalytic cognition aims to put tolerant knowledge in the place of negativity and intolerance of frustration; it is Hegelian in that it proceeds through encounter with the negative in order to grow into positivity, to give formlessness a form.

 Bion
Bion was developed for biological studies of the effects of radiation.
The Bion series were built by TsSKB with experimental payloads by the Institute of Medical and Biological Problems.
The Cosmos 2229 mission was also referred to as Bion 10, because it was the tenth in a series of Soviet/Russian unmanned satellites carrying biological experiments.

 BPAS: Bion and Eliot: Anna Dartington
Bion too took a particular interest in language which, according to Meltzer (1978) was in part attributable to his work with psychotic patients in the 1950's, involving as it did an increased concern with problems of observation, comprehension and semantic transformation.
I think there is evidence to suggest that both Bion and Eliot shared a similar position in their respective fields of psychoanalysis and literature, and that their standing in relation to colleagues and students was comparable and characterised by the same mixed response of exasperation and profound respect.
Bion's exhortation to the psychoanalytic world to put down their 'precocious comprehension' of the patient, to follow Keats and 'listen to the silence' is obviously serious and heartfelt.

 Sacramento Lawyer: In Memoriam: Bion M. Gregory
I qualify this because Bion and I discovered three years ago that we were in the first grade together in 1946 at the McClellan School in Del Paso Heights.
Bion responded quite simply, “Sullivan, that’s because they have the support of the speaker and the rules committee, you don’t!” That concluded the negotiations.
Bion made it a point of keeping up with my cases, and from time to time would reprimand me for representing “a scoundrel.” I, in turn, would remind him that in the eyes of many people, he represented scoundrels for 25 years.

 [No title]
Bion postulated that people in a group are always torn between working on the overtly stated group task, and what the unconsciously assume is the real group task.
Bion does not focus merely on group think, Bion also speaks of a concept known as valency which is the individual tendency of a person towards one kind of assumption.
The synthesis made by Bion of some Locke’s, Hume’s and Kant’s contributions (on commonsense, constant conjunction and the noumenic realm, respectively) is adumbrated; also, Bion’s innovative integration of some of Freud’s and Klein’s observations of mental functioning (the theory of unconscious and the splitting processes, respectively).

 Chapter 4: The Legacy of Wilfred Bion
Bion's preoccupation with psychology flourished and was strengthened by his association with the John Rickman, a prominent member of the British Psychoanalytic Society, who was to introduce Bion to Melanie Klein and suggest that he be analysed by her.
Bion adds that 'mental space is so vast compared with any realisation of three-dimensional space that the patient's capacity for emotion is felt to be lost because emotion itself is felt to drain away and be lost in such immensity' (p.
Bion distinguishes it from the kind of language which is a substitute for thought and action, a blocking of achievement which is lies in the realm of 'preconception' - mindlessness as opposed to mindfulness.

 Untitled
Bion refers to us as group animals, as the way we are in essence, by our very nature equiped for a life of continual interaction.
Bion seems to take this dualist idea of the individual mind and apply it to the "group mind" making it difficult to envision explainable relationships between the group and and the world around it.
Bion and Meltzer go on to propose that the capacity for containing anxiety, and hence for sustaining states of mind in which constructive and creative relationships predominate, can be fostered by the quality of containment provided (by someone else) for the bits and pieces of the self cast out under duress.

Bion spacecraft are uncrewed satellites, developed by the Russians, that fly biological experiments with primates, rodents, insects, and plants in near-Earth orbits.
In very general terms, the major objective of the bion biosatellite investigations are to study the biological effects of low gravity and the space radiation environment on the structure and function of individual physiological systems and the body as a whole.
The Bion experiments have been thoroughly reviewed both within NASA and by outside panels to ensure that they meet ethical standards and that they pursue worthwhile and important scientific objectives that cannot be achieved without the use of animals.

 BION AND EXPERIENCES IN GROUPS
In the1960s Bion became famous and was head of the Clinic of the Institute of Psychoanalysis in London and then the President of the British Psycho-Analytic Society.
Bion tried to avert this by accepting an invitation from Bernard Brandschaft (who eventually became a follower of Heinz Kohut) and some others in the Los Angeles area to move to California.
Bion took no direct part in this political and doctrinal upheaval, but his presence in the area is likely to have had an indirect influence on the controversy, and the upheaval cannot have made for a serene environment.

 Shirky: A Group Is Its Own Worst Enemy
Bion was a psychologist who was doing group therapy with groups of neurotics.
Now, Bion decided that what he was watching with the neurotics was the group defending itself against his attempts to make the group do what they said they were supposed to do.
Bion has identified this possibility of groups sandbagging their sophisticated goals with these basic urges.

 Bion Announces First Commercial Application of Second-Generation Bion NMS™
The Bion NMS is a proprietary and patented waste treatment system that remediates animal waste in a manner that is both economical and consistent with existing and proposed environmental regulatory requirements.
The Bion NMS achieves a 98% reduction of ammonia discharged to the atmosphere coupled with very low (to frequently undetectable) levels of VOCs, hydrogen sulfide and the greenhouse gases (methane and nitrogen oxides), as well as an 80%, or greater, reduction of nutrients (phosphorous, nitrogen and potassium) in the water effluent.
Due to its platform design, Bion’s NMS is capable of generating revenue not only from the products and services it produces (waste removal, soil production and potentially environmental credits), but also from supplementary technologies that can be integrated into the platform such as anaerobic digestion, which produces energy, and membrane filtration, which produces reusable water.

 Metapsychology Online Reviews - Building on Bion
Paulo Cesar Sandler shows how the autobiographical sketches in Bion's war memoirs show the development of key concepts and, most remarkably, how Bion was able to mine his own experiences for fuel in understanding the complexities of the human condition.
Finally, Victor L. Achermer dives into Bion's notion of "O" (roughly the true essence of a thing that is being experienced, unfiltered and as it is in its awesome complexity) and the very nature of how we come to know a thing.
Bion's ideas are so rich, his thoughts so startling, that to a greater or lesser degree, everyone in this collection is awakened and has insights to share.
