Steve Silberman Quotes

When I Think Back Upon The Kids That I Tried To Treat Back In The 1960s, Who Were So Extremely Self-injurious, I Think, "Boy, They Were Tough!" What They Were Really Saying Is, "You Haven't Taught Me Right, You Haven't Given Me The Tools Whereby I Can Communicate And Control My Environment." So The Aggression That These Kids Show, Whether It Is Directed Toward Themselves Or Others, Is An Expression Of Society's Ignorance, And In That Sense I Think Of Them As Noble Demonstrators. I Have A Great Deal Of Respect For Them.
