Još Am̌rico Junqueira de Mattos is a member and Training and Supervising Analyst of the Brazilian Society of Psychoanalysis of Sô Paulo and the Brazilian Society of Psychoanalysis of Ribeirô Preto. He has published many papers both in Brazil and abroad and is responsible for the preservation of Bion's Brazilian Supervisions. Since the beginning of his career, he has been interested in the ideas of Bion, who was his analyst.

"The Clinical Thinking of W. R. Bion in Brazil is comprised of thirteen transcriptions of supervisions Wilfred Bion conducted during his three teaching and speaking tours of Brazil. During these tours, Bion conducted over 130 public supervisions of analytic cases in English in which he explained his theories and illustrated their clinical application. Following on from the first volume, Bion in Brazil: Supervisions and Commentaries (2017), this book presents each supervision in full, with an accompanying commentary written by a senior Brazilian psychoanalyst and Bionian scholar. Arguably, no psychoanalyst has had as much impact on psychoanalytic development in Brazil than Bion, and this collection of his seminars, presented here for the first time, acts as a historical document and testament to his legacy in contemporary analysis. The Clinical Thinking of W. R. Bion in Brazil provides a unique opportunity for contemporary psychoanalysts, candidates, and students to hear the distinctive 'voice' of Bion, observe how he listens in conversation and learn how he would intervene in and interpret a clinical situation"-- Provided by publisher.
