“Mothers have not always had the most important role in their children's upbringing, when they had other economic roles to play.

“Freud pointed out, in his Problem of Lay Analysis, that it is extremely unlikely that a young man who would throw the best years of his life into the cloistered drudgery of getting an M.D. degree, could possibly make a good psychoanalyst; so he preferred to look for young analysts among the writers, the lawyers, the mothers of families, those who had chosen human contact. But in their economic wisdom, the Psychoanalytic Institute of Vienna (and New York) overruled him.” MenYearsHumansLooksProblemYoungMotherEconomicNew YorkDegreesLaysLawyerChosenContactAnalysisYoung ManUnlikelyInstituteAnalystsDrudgeryBest YearViennaPsychoanalytic Author:Paul Goodman
“The social and economic impact of the earthquake is still very present and is contributing to mental health problems, the mother who lost her husband, or children who lost their parents, and who now are responsible for the whole family, taking children to school and providing food.
