Famous quotes containing the words phase and/or defense:

    “It no longer makes sense to speak of “feeding problems” or “sleep problems” or “negative behavior” is if they were distinct categories, but to speak of “problems of development” and to search for the meaning of feeding and sleep disturbances or behavior disorders in the developmental phase which has produced them.”
    —Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)

    “The cliché organizes life; it expropriates people’s identity; it becomes ruler, defense lawyer, judge, and the law.”
    —Václav Havel (b. 1936)
