ABSTRACT
This chapter aims to share with the reader something of psychosis and its relation to W. R. Bion’s formulations and thinking, as well as to illustrate the patient's feelings when we try to help each other in our difficult task of working together in a therapeutic situation. As Bion noted, sometimes thoughts are too violent or too forceful to be contained by the "mind-nest". One can imagine that they can be also expelled violently by the mind. The skull, where the mind is supposed to live, becomes a sort of "nest of disturbed or disturbing thoughts". Bion suggests to the idea of thoughts becoming wild: do they become "wild" when they are left on their own? When they are still little creatures or almost proto-mental? Is the ideal thinker, sitting in a "royal" chair, waiting for thoughts to come or rather just by thinking the thinker is implicitly created? Bion spoke about flying thoughts becoming lost and "wild".
