“Every child has a legitimate narcissistic need to be noticed, understood, taken seriously, and respected by his mother. In the first weeks and months of life he needs to have [the] mother at his disposal, must be able to use her and to be mirrored by her. This is beautifully illustrated in one of Winnicott’s images: the mother gazes at the baby in her arms, and [the] baby gazes at his mother’s face and finds himself therein . . . provided that the mother is really looking at the unique, small, helpless being and not projecting her own introjects onto the child, nor her own expectations, fears, and plans for the child. In that case, the child would not find himself in his mother’s face but rather the mother’s own predicaments. This child would remain without a mirror, and for the rest of his life would be seeking this mirror in vain.” —Alice Miller (from Prisoners of Childhood)
