The paper addresses several problems left open by P. Biane, F. Goodman and A. Nica [Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 355 (2003)]. The main result is that a type B non-commutative probability space can be studied in the framework of freeness with amalgamation. This view allows easy ways of constructing a version of the S-transform as well as proving analogues to the Central Limit Theorem and Poisson Limit Theorem.
