English term or phrase: Use of ULTIMATE by French author
We can find this model in "Attention and Interpretation", Bion's book published in 1970. It is for me the ultimate point of his theory. Afterwards he used a poetical way, or discussions, to develop it. As for his private life, we know he decided to LET his responsibility in the Psychanaytical Society and to leave London for a new country.

TENGO DUDAS SOBRE EL SIGNIFICADO DE ULTIMATE EN ESTE CONTEXTO. ¿QUERRÁ DECIR EL PUNTO FINAL, EN VISTA DEL CAMBIO QUE DESCRIBE A CONTINUACIÓN?
