Learning from Bion's legacy to groups

Bion's creativity is discussed in the context of the 20th Century's socio-political challenges, chaos and violence. Major misunderstandings and misconstructions of his theoretical contribution as well as his technique in studying groups are reviewed. Sounder ways to build on his work and apply his ideas and his example are proposed. Observations of Bion made by several of his closest associates, as well as several made by him, are cited to clarify his legacy. Empirical research studies in the context of group relations conferences in the Tavistock tradition are cited as an example of Bion's continuing relevance and influence.
