“Trying to live by the better angels of our nature, and to rebury ghosts loved well or ambivalently, we find ourselves speaking and acting as the demons who crushed us and our forebears. We can be grateful to these authors for helping us to hear and see, to mourn and to atone.” -Donna M. Orange, PsyD, Lecturer at Institute for the Psychoanalytic Study of Subjectivity, NYU Postdoctoral Program
