Of all Freud's writings, Bion was most deeply influenced by "Formulations on the Two Principles of Mental Functioning" (1911), and the author asserts that much of Bion's major theoretical thinking may be seen as an elaboration of this paper. Bion's introduction of the concept of alpha function, which "may be regarded as a structure" (Bion 1962, p. 26), constitutes what the author calls "Bion's ego psychology". A clinical implication of Bion's ego psychology is a focus upon the unconscious interaction between the analyst's and the patient's communicating alpha functions. Clinical material from the analysis of an adolescent is offered to illustrate the author's points.
在弗洛伊德的所有著作中，比昂受《关于心理功能的两个原则的阐述》（1911年）的影响最深，作者断言，比昂的许多主要理论思考都可被视为对这篇论文的详细阐述。比昂引入了阿尔法功能的概念，“可被视为一种结构”（比昂，1962年，第26页），这构成了作者所称的“比昂的自我心理学”。比昂自我心理学的一个临床意义是关注分析师与患者正在交流的阿尔法功能之间的无意识互动。文中提供了一位青少年分析的临床素材以阐明作者的观点。
