STAPHYSAGRIA

Staphysagria children, on the other hand, have been injured in this world. They are withdrawn because they have been violated and repressed. They harbor resentment because they have not been heard. When adults force these children into a mold, the result is withdrawal and confused, repressed anger. On the surface the child attempts to be cooperative, but at a deeper level resentments about the injury are harbored. The child is stifled, but acquiesces.
