Affect and Thought in the Klein-Bion Model - This paper investigates the development of the psychoanalytic theory of affect according to the Klein/Bion approach, with special regard to the relationship between affect and thought which has strategic importance in the complex picture in post-war Anglo-Saxon psychoanalysis. Klein’s contributions on affect are discussed and confronted with the other elements of the psychological world: representations, drives, objects and positions. The second part of the paper presents and discusses Bion’s theory of “emotional experiences”, in which a primordial identity between thought and feelings generates every form of knowledge.
