But then...Anna Massey has such a distinctive face. But then, I am a mild anglophile. <br /><br />Boarding School Syndrome, makes sense to me. Like putting children in the Army. Or orphanages. And they come out feeling like they have to be proud of it. Messed right up. <br /><br />If there were that many murders in Oxford, they'd close the place down.

In "Boarding School Syndrome: The Psychological Trauma of the 'Privileged' Child, Dr Joy Schaverien writes:<br /><br />“Early rupture with home has a lasting influence on attachment patterns. When a child is brought up at home, the family adapts to accommodate it: growing up involves a constant negotiation between parents and children.<br /><br />"But an institution cannot rebuild itself around one child. Instead, the child must adapt to the system. Combined with the sudden and repeated loss of parents, siblings, pets and toys, this causes the child to shut itself off from the need for intimacy. <br />This can cause major problems in adulthood: <br />depression, an inability to talk about or understand emotions, <br />* * *the urge to escape from or to destroy intimate relationships. <br /><br />"These symptoms mostly affect early boarders: those who start when they are older are less likely to be harmed.”Frexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13191192404386975664noreply@blogger.com
