ABSTRACT

This paper traces Wilfred Bion’s disrupted sexual development from young child in India to schoolboy in England, as described in his autobiography ‘The long weekend’. It discusses the meaning of Bion’s baffling descriptions of sex at his Hertfordshire boarding school, where he puts the topic front and centre, yet affords it a peculiar kind of censorship, via an understanding of the moral and religious way that boys’ sexuality in segregated boarding schools was viewed and dealt with during the Edwardian era. The paper explores the stifling impact this had on Bion’s creativity. It also describes how Bion’s personal qualities of courage, his capacity to observe and his interest in the truth, helped to counterbalance the destructiveness that had led him to reject relationships. The emotional deprivation, bleakness and aggression he recalls are viewed as being of interest to child psychotherapists working with contemporary adolescent sexual difficulties.

摘要

这篇论文追溯了威尔弗雷德·比昂 (Wilfred Bion) 从印度的幼儿到英国的学童的性发育中断，正如他的自传《长周末》中所描述的那样。它讨论了比恩在赫特福德郡寄宿学校对性的令人费解的描述的含义，在那里他把这个话题放在了前面和中心，但通过对男孩在隔离寄宿中的性行为的道德和宗教方式的理解，提供了一种特殊的审查制度。在爱德华时代，学校受到了关注和处理。该论文探讨了这对 Bion 的创造力产生的窒息影响。它还描述了比昂的个人勇气品质、观察能力和对真相的兴趣，如何帮助平衡导致他拒绝人际关系的破坏性。情感剥夺，
