"Some of the most precious moments in analytic work are observed when a change of scenery takes place - as if one were watching a film about
Ancient Rome and all of a sudden Red Cloud or General Custer appeared. This is the irruption of a new, previously unthinkable 'selected fact' (Bion 1963), which can now reorganize the entire scene in to a different Gestalt bearing witness to the non-linear development that betokens profound transformation."
