This looks like a telling critique of Freud's Oedipus complex. "Look inside" below: Harry J Zeit MD BrightonPsych Sally Baker TV Therapist graham music Stephen Buehler amazon.co.uk/Bed-Time-Regul…

Predictable, just heard Sarah Montague [aka Lady Brooke] more or less promoting private health on The World at One - "given the pressures on the NHS". No analysis of where such pressures came from. BBC increasingly mouthpiece of neoliberals. What a contrast with Darren McGarvey

"Perhaps the most profound threat to boarding schools is more fundamental. And that is the idea that to send a child as young as seven or eight away from home is not privilege but brutality" Suzanne Zeedyk Alex Renton Nick Duffell Robert Verkaik joycemcmillan economist.com/britain/2023/0…


Eton has produced 20 PMs. It's based on a lie legitimised by Clarendon Report 1864 (Times' letters of 15.6.23) This privatised their endowments (sounds familiar?), Eton's now worth £560m+ Melissa Benn Robert Verkaik Nick Duffell Piers Cross Private Education Policy Forum Suzanne Zeedyk Alex Renton


Simon Partridge Society still values "A" grades over self-esteem because our perception of success is economic wealth and not relational wealth. This belief guides so many of our policies and practices. How many people are working against their natural instincts. We need knowledge & confidence.

All of this x 100 …and it’s a lot to do with who runs - and writes for - these papers, the networks they are part of and what they consider important. In addition to Will Hutton’s point we rarely hear from thousands of pupils ‘rejected’ every year by 11 plus Comprehensive Future

On 9.6.24: Charles Spencer announces divorce for 4th time. Michael Mosley goes out for walk in midday sun in heatwave, found dead. Both were sent off to boarding school at 8 & 7. Just saying. Piers Cross Suzanne Zeedyk JoySchaverien Nick Duffell

Wow! Just read Epilogue to J Herman's 3rd ed of "Trauma & Recovery" (2022). What a brilliant summary of her long life's work: "healing from trauma needs safety, remembering, grieving & reconnecting with a community". amazon.co.uk/Trauma-Recover… Suzanne Zeedyk Piers Cross joycemcmillan
