1. “one is destroyed in pregnancy by the child, which develops at the expense of the mother, like a malignant tumor” (Spielrein zitiert nach Reshe: Death and Love)
2. „While zorgenkind does not necessarily contain a negative affect, the term may signify anxiety as a central negative affective experience. For example, a mother participating in the infant-mother dyad offers her participation in ways that can lead to trepidations, disruptions, and strains. Motherhood extends beyond being a mere responsibility embodying a journey of self-sacrifice that demands a mother’s active participation in her infant’s survival. It is a beautiful yet dynamic „dying“ process that requires immense dedication and commitment in the form of love. This appears to be a natural, biological result of mothering. Moreover, one may contend within modern psychoanalysis, as Spielrein’s significant work corpus demonstrates.“ (Arvin Bains)
3. »zwischen Ausbrüchen intensiver Zärtlichkeit auf der einen und Ausbrüchen von Wut und Feindseligkeit auf der anderen Seite«
