Bion presents clinical material to illustrate the state of mind that is opposed to and attacks anything that links the subject with the object.

These attacks on the linking function of emotion lead to the elimination of emotionally reasonable links, leaving in the psychotic part of the personality such links that may appear logical but are perverse, cruel, and sterile.
