about

for the record, I wrote this before David Gray released a song with demons in it - but it's a fairly ubiquitous theme, innit - on this occasion giving me a chance to think about some of the top women I've met, and my own emotionally stunted responses to them.

PS it'd be a good decade or more before I stumbled across the revelationary works of psychoanalyst Ronald Fairbairn and his antilibidinal object or "Internal Saboteur", nicknamed the "pit of demons" by Frederico Pereira in his 2002 book "Fairbairn and Relational Theory". Wish I'd heard of him earlier.
