This is the "Promise" that is never given up, lurking in the unconscious part of our minds. We must learn, reluctantly, that our parents are unable to protect us from the passage of time, from decline, and from death. Yet we retain, even as adults, the delusion that, while others may die, we never will. This adds fuel to the murderous anger we are born with and must master, alongside the contradictory vertical split in the mind that we are destined to die. The "Promise" is described in patients and in examples from biography and fiction in relation to anniversaries and specific holidays. The book ends with a specific illustration in relation to an eight-month-old infant.Identity (Psychology) in childrenIdentity (Psychology)Electronic books.Identity (Psychology) in children.Identity (Psychology)155.418Shengold Leonard163041FlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910463291403321The promise1893827UNINA
