Infinite emotion : Matte Blanco's bi-logic in psychoanalytic context

Abstract

This thesis attempts to outline and assess Matte Blanco's theory of bilogic, and place it in psychoanalytic context using comparative analysis. Bilogic is studied in relation to Freud, Klein and Bion. These particular psychoanalysts were selected because of their strong position in the history of psychoanalysis and their influence on psychoanalytic thinking.
