Dominique Agostini : an adolescent in the great war : bion

Using the « War Journal » (June 1917-January 1919) of Bion and the « Commentaries » he wrote 50 years later, the author establishes links between the war experience of the adolescent Bion and certain concepts created by the analyst Bion. Most notably, those of « catastrophic change », « nameless terror », « psychotic personality », and « group mentality ».
