« The mother (who is not necessarily the child's own mother) is good enough is the one who actively adapts to the child's needs. This active adjustment gradually decreases as the child's ability to cope with adjustment failure and tolerating the results of frustration increases. `...` In fact, for care to be beneficial, it is dedication that matters, not know-how or intellectual knowledge. »

« At the root of the antisocial trend is a good primitive experience that has been lost. What certainly characterizes her is that the child has become able to perceive that the cause of misfortune lies in a failure of the environment. Knowing that the cause of depression or disintegration is external and not internal leads to personality distortion and the need to seek a remedy in the new arrangements that the environment can offer it. The degree of maturity of the self that allows a perception of this order determines the development of an antisocial tendency rather than a psychosis. There are a large number of antisocial compulsions in the early stages and parents treat them successfully. However, unconsciously or unconsciously, antisocial children constantly require the community to offer them this remedy, but they are not able to use it. »
