Bion’s Vertices: On Truth and Lies is divided into three parts which investigate the truth/lie domain, emotional change and growth, and creativity in relation to truth and lies, and show its relevance in clinical practice. The wide-ranging discussions include chapters on aesthetic processes in poetry and psychoanalytic thought, knowledge, representation, misunderstandings, chaos, perversions, propaganda, the analyst's mind, the protective function of lying, and racialisation in relational context.
This is a must-read book for all those with an interest in Bion and the application of his theory to contemporary thought and practice.
Dr Tomasz Fortuna trained as a psychoanalyst at the Institute of Psychoanalysis in London. He is a member of the British Psychoanalytical Society and the Hanna Segal Institute for Psychoanalytic Studies.

He teaches and supervises in the UK and abroad. His professional interests include the relationship between psychoanalysis and the arts, the understanding of severe emotional disturbance, and criminal behaviour. He has published several articles and chapters, and co-authored the book Melanie Klein: The Basics. He was a guest editor of Empedocles, European Journal for the Philosophy of Communication.
