“All Civilization Needs”
Photograph by John Diamond, M.D.
The very essence of the work of the psychoanalyst George Frankl:
- all children are born loving
and 2. human nature is essentially good.
I could quibble a little as to whether the child is born already in fear, but I do sincerely believe – who could doubt it? – that the fetus is love.
And so is the mother.
All that our civilization needs – and it does need it increasingly desperately – is for the pregnant mother to so see her baby – and herself.
And this she will when she so sees her own mother.
