I think what Bion meant by "without memory" is allowing the client to strike the T freshly, without conclusions already set in stone and to let even a client you know very well be a surprise, respecting the mysteries of otherness? I don't think it means forget details and stories and past work in a literal way. Also, some T's haven't even read Bion. I love our forum bc there's so much education in reading it, and some posters here are more sophisticated in understanding psychoanalytic thought than some T's trained differently. I love PC bc of that.
