ABSTRACT
In his last decade, Bion made a radical break with his home and career in Britain and at the same time seemed to disconnect psychoanalysis from medicine, distinguishing sensuous from non-sensuous perception and forms of knowledge. It seemed to free him to consider what if psychoanalysis were not a science at all. Supposing it were an evocative form of aesthetics, he proceeded to write a trilogy of novels and two well-received volumes of autobiography.
