Abstract
This lecture explores the relationship between Bion’s ideas of Transformation in K and Transformation in O. I briefly explore the context of Bion’s ideas and emphasize the importance of observation in a K link and how this process can become moments of “welcoming suchness”. I describe the importance of Bion’s idea of evolution in a session and I describe some of my experience of an internal workspace for listening . I share my sense of changes in the analyst’s internal workspace that accompany transformations that occur in the movement from K —> O and from O—> K. A clinical vignette from a child psychotherapy is offered to illustrate how immersion in the details of the session allows a movement from observation <—> intuition and between experience <—>meaning. Other personal vignettes seek to evoke with clarity Bion’s idea of evolution.
