« I was taught that depression itself contains the germ of healing. This is the clear side of psychopathology: depression has to do with feelings of guilt (which is a sign of healthy development) and the grieving process. Grief, too, ended up completing his work. The natural tendency to heal also brings depression closer to the maturation process at work during childhood, a process of maturation that, in an environment that facilitates, leads to personal maturity, i.e. health. »

« There is such a difference between the beginnings of a baby whose mother is able to perform her function well enough and those of a baby whose mother is unable to do so, that there is no need, in these very early stages, to describe a baby other than in relation to the function of the mother. When maternal care is not good enough, the maturation of the child's self cannot take place, or the development of the self is necessarily distorted in certain aspects of vital importance. »
