Letter to the British Medical Journal (16 December, 1939)
…“but the point that we wish to make is that such an experience in the case of a little child can mean far more than the actual experience of sadness. It can in fact amount to an emotional ‘black-out’, and can easily lead to a severe disturbance of the development of the personality which may persist throughout life.”

…this is what the television is doing, taking over parenting and especially when the parents are parented by the television and under the influence of some hypnotic suggestion. We have become the objects upon which novelists, film makers and marketers direct their fantasies, violence and death wishes with little interest or concern for our personal well being, thus we end up in predicaments such as I have been subjected to for 59 years.
The books I have posted here are just a small sampling of the evidence that is before us.
