Wilfred Bion

Wilfred Bion made a highly significant contribution to psychoanalysis. A member of a group around Melanie Klein he nevertheless has not been remembered with a bust. 2029 marks 50 years since his death by which time we hope to have set things right by having a bust commissioned and unveiled. Psychoanalytic trainings across the world have benefitted from incorporating Bion’s ideas for their trainees whether these be about individuals, groups or organisations. Bion did not care much for honours but we feel that a bust to remember him appropriately places him alongside Freud, Klein, Winnicott and his Kleinian contemporaries who are already celebrated with busts.

We are asking for donations for this commission of a life-size bust so that we can all honour Bion and his hugely significant contribution to psychoanalytic thinking.

The illustration on this justgiving page is a maquette - a much smaller cast than the bronze will be. As with this maquette, the actual bust will be moulded and cast by the internationally acclaimed sculptor Billie Bond MRSS SPS.
