Bion defined a container as a space that processes our experiences, while at the same time encouraging us to act as our own containers. He lived through both World Wars and at a time of intense paradigm shifts. These radical shifts inspired him to develop his theory of the “Container-Contained”.
We, like Bion, are living in an emotionally evocative time of pandemic, political unrest, and racial turmoil. Amidst all this, we have been challenged to act as containers for ourselves, our relationships, and the groups we lead.
Please join me to explore Bion’s theory, apply it to a case example, use it together in an experiential group, and consolidate our learnings in a question and answer format.
