« 1991 u p d a t e: Ten years have passed since the publication of my first three books: the drama of the gifted child is for your own good, the child in terror. Nevertheless, the facts and connections I have outlined, based on many years of practice, have remained equally valid and, unfortunately, current. But what has changed radically is my attitude towards psychoanalysis, from which I have since separated. I was forced to do this when I realized that psychoanalytic theory and practice conceal or disguise the causes and consequences of child abuse, including by characterizing facts as fantasies. Moreover, as I know from experience, such treatments can be dangerous, as they cement the distress caused by childhood torments rather than end them. »

« The feeling of guilt almost suffocated me when I tried to evade the requirement to help others and save them from their disarray. I didn't do it until very late in my life. »
