THE BEAST IN THE NURSERY, 2023 (Adam Phillips)

In every nursery there are ghosts. They are the visitors from the unremembered past of the parents, the uninvited guests at the christening. Under favorable circumstances, these unfriendly and unbidden spirits are banished from the nursery and return to their subterranean dwelling place….This is not to say that ghosts cannot invent mischief from their burial places.

( Selma Fraiberg, Edna Adelson, and Vivian Shapiro, 1975)
